Default How do you know when your Turbo is going out?

I have a 2003 Audi A4 1.8T. I'm a newbie to these kinds of things and some feedback as far as symptoms, maybe weird sounds?

THANKS!!!

When you look at your boost gauge and see there's no boost

Default turbo noise

Hi i have an audi a4 2.5 quattro td and have a noise like a police siren when i accelerate at low revs.have taken it back to the garage where i bought and they have suggested putting a forte oil additive,does anyone think this is acceptable and will it work,or is the turbo gone,the car has not lost any performance.

The video posted, is that a failing turbo? my s4 has a sound like that but still seems fast... how can you test the turbos?

thanks
