did i blow up my tranny or turbo

I was racing uo the big hill at the sand dunes now my truck makes a horrible whining noise. Only when reved, will make it driving or in neutral. Sounds like a bearing going out. Was at 40 psi boost and chopped the throttle to avoid a crash. Stock turbo. Boost fooler

Pull the intake tube off the front of the turbo,grab the shaft and check for play.

Which dunes?
