Have you done any invest into the fault yet?

You may not need to remove the turbo.

ie is there any other indication that the turbo has failed? Burning oil etc...

If you still have the front cat fitted it is a known fault that if the front cat fails it can block the exhaust, it will allow the car to start and rev ok whilst stationary but will not allow boost to build.

Have you looked at the watsegate? You will at least be able to feel the spring acting against you by pushing on the actuator rod towards the rear of the car.
