Default 98 c70 general turbo question

I have a 98 volvo c70 manual ht my dad had the car over heat on him and with no one around that could pick him up he continued to drive it. Ever since then the car has not had the same kind of pick up that it use to. It feels like the turbo is lacking the same boost it use to have. Any ideas on an issue that could be affecting the performance?

The overheating might have damaged the turbo.

you think a straight turbo swap would fix it?

Possible. I think you need to look everything over really good. Hoses ETC.
