Concur on the turbo diagnosis - mine failed the same way, but 800 miles from home.
You will need to pull a lot of stuff in addition to the turbo itself: radiator, intercooler, intake piping, etc. Clean everything thoroughly - the intercooler is probably full of oil. New fittings/seals/gaskets all around. Make sure the oil feed line is totally clear. You might save the cat - when you get the new turbo on there, run the car like you stole it for a bit to get the remainder of the oil burned off. My cat survived even after a catastrophic turbo failure and subsequent attempts to get it to move under its own power.
