SO....it's a used turbo.......
Your compressor wheel is toast. Either replace the compressor wheel or you will have REALLY bad running conditions.
Chipped Turbo fan blade
I had just put in a new (but used with under 100k miles) turbo in my 06’ 6.0. After test driving it for the first time, I pulled the intake off and noticed the fan blades on the turbo where chewed up like a chew toy after that one drive. Is it safe for me to drive the truck with chipped fan blades? I’m not noticing any driving differences except for slightly higher but not alarming egts. And I believe my mechanic hooked up the oil feed line incorrectly which starved the turbo of oil which caused this to happen yet caused an oil leak on right below the turbo and dripping down both sides of the transmission.

Not to mention it but the diffuser ring around the outside is of the older style 6.0L turbos. Many people were able to pop it out in a vain attempt to make some sort of performance increase. Might add to intake sound but doesn't do much on the big scheme of things. When newer model year trucks (say 2005-2007) came out that ring area was a machined part of the compressor housing. To which any sort of mods to that area required the compressor housing to be removed and machined on a lathe.
But hey.....it's a new to OP turbo with 100k on it.
As seen here...2006 turbo as the article reads:
