Default Boost problems. Help please. Possible turbo needed

I lost all boost last weekend whilst on the motorway. I was doing 80ish and put my foot down. The car pulled away but then lost all power. Felt like a pipe had come off. But still drive fine with no power no smoke or anything. I got it home checked all boost hoses all seemed fine. Turbo spins freely. Changed Amal valve. Still the same. I had a garage look at it they told me my turbo was knackered đŸ˜*đŸ˜*
Could this be the case. And if so. Has anybody got a good t3 turbo for sale. With no play if possible

Thanks for the reply mate. And They didn't. They just said it was knackered. I bought a second hand 1 a few weeks ago and put it on and it seems back to normal again now.
I can send the other one of for a rebuild now 😃👍
