I'm no expert but you definitely have major wear on internal engine parts.

Questions,

How many miles on the engine? What type of service was the truck doing?

What type of air filter was used?

I would pull the intake boot at the turbo and take a look at the vanes and check the shaft bearings for play, my thought on this is it may tell you what has been ingested by the engine.

Great video's by the way.

There is 247k on the motor, The truck was a ranch truck in south colorado, came to the conculision that the owner would spray it with starting fluid. found the can in the engine bay. The turbo has a few bent blades but no shaft play. Thats why i get the thought of it may poss. may need a re-ring

My Mack truck did the same thing and it had a valve seat that had let lose and busted the piston and sleeve. I had to put in a piston and sleeve and head. I don't know why the experts here haven't chimed in here yet but I'm sure they will soon. A bad blower can do all of this too. In a gas engine we would just pull the spark plugs and do a compression test. A scan is definitely in order, I'm sure you must have done that by now. There is no making these trucks go without one. They wanted $100 at ford to test mine. The scanner is $250 and the Ford Upgrade $149, there is no other way. I will send you mine to use until you get it fixed if you want.

I just bought my first Powerstroke a few weeks ago. It's a 1996 E350 15 passenger van. I love it. I think the guy that sold you yours screwed you. Ether starting fluid is a deadly sin. Mine has 620,000 miles plus on it and it runs great. I got it for $700 because it had a bad vibration he couldn't find and he was told his ujoints were good. They were so bad I had never seen worse ujoints, frozen solid and beat all to hell. New ujoints fixed it. $60 bucks.
