Turbo replacement cost

2000 9-5 2.3t 71.7k miles
I noticed a puff of smoke on start ups, going back about a month ago. The smoke was white but now appears to be blue. It is fairly irregular but more noticable after the car has sat for a period, ie. weekend. Chekcing this booard i've seen lots of varying opinions on what to do. I called my indy nad their quoting me $1,200 for a new turbo, parts and labor.
Any advice? Is this high? I mentioned the CSV and the guy on phone dismissed it, just said that the turbos on the 9-5's fail "all the time".
I bought the car in February with 59k, did the 60k maintenance, including additional pulleys, etc... at 67k, have changed oil every 3k miles and just went to synthetic 500 miles ago.
