My first turbo failure was light blue smoke and a light whining noise. The turbo unit was turned in for a remanufactured unit. Total cost - $900.
My second turbo failure was just as you had described. In this case there was a total shaft failure and the unit was not accepted for remanufacture. This bumbed the price by about $400. In addition both O2 sensors were replaced, another $400. Plus incidentals. Came to about $1900.
I found your post looking for some info on 9-5 turbo failures.
