I rebuilt my Garrett GT17 turbo for my 1999 I4 9-5 at about 86,000 miles. There was a lot of constant blue smoke by then. Besides gouging up your hands wrestling the turbo out and back into its location, it was more difficult finding a rebuild kit several years ago. Nonetheless, I believe the rebuild is holding as I just turned 140,000 miles. Once in a while, I get some slight smoke, but I haven't done the most recent (and hopefully last..) PCV mod, so some oil leaks and the smoke are probably related because of this. You'll save yourself a ton of money doing your own rebuild (compared to a stealer/dealer) or probably save $500 in labor if you get a new/rebuilt turbo and then install it yourself.
Best of Luck..!!
