Your car pulls less than it used to, and the first thought is always the same. The turbo must be dying.

A hissing sound specifically, heard while accelerating, often points to a boost leak rather than turbo failure.
The right move is diagnosing boost pressure, hoses, the intercooler, and the turbo system properly, not replacing the most expensive part first because it's the obvious suspect.
