can something be wrong w/a turbo even though it makes boost?

I have an '89 TII, but I figure turbos are pretty much the same. So here goes. I was wondering if something could be wrong with a turbo even though it makes boost? My turbo spools up pretty quick but I can't feel the power come on. Really laggy and comes on slow and not hard at all. I took off the TID and it feels fine and spins freely. It's the original stock turbo w/150,000+ miles on it. Even though it boosts, could there be something wrong?
