I'd go for the cartridge. You can buy a Rotomaster cartridge from Rockauto for a reasonable price, and they're a reputable brand. If you buy a new turbo, you'll either end up with a Chinese-made one, or you'll pay a ridiculous amount for a new one from Saab. Another option is have your existing turbo rebuilt, but considering labor rates and the cost of a rebuild kit, the cartridge would most likely be cheaper. You'd have to check with your shop and make sure that they're comfortable taking the turbo apart, but it is a simple job. I swapped the housings onto a new cartridge in about 30 minutes on my garage floor using pretty simple hand tools.
