I think my turbos are shot.

Well today around 4pm I was at a stop light and I started to take off. Just normal acceleration, around 20 mph there was a high pitch noise and continued to make that sound up to 50-60 mph and then when I let off the gas pedal it went away. But it does it only when I press on the gas pedal. Then on the way home I floored it and it only went to 20 psi or so. Do you guys think my turbos are fubar or could it be something else?

Check all of your boots. Sounds like you popped a boot and and now have a good sized exhaust leak. What did your EGT's looks like while it was doing this?

like the guys above said, sounds like a boost leak. Do a boost leak test first, then go from there

Since it's a 2010, it should be under warranty. Let Ford have the fun finding the leak.

Well, it turn out to be the boot from the innercooler to the cold side piping. The clamped slipped off. A little playing around with that and it fixed everything. Thanks guys for the help and the info.
