Turbo rebuild/replace options

Blue smoke suggests turbo bad. Researching options, two intrigue me. Not finding the entire GT1549 anywhere, I see the CHRA at xsboost for $400 and a rebuild kit at turbos_r_us on ebay for $80. I am a fairly capable DIY (replaced the timing belt, idlers, tensioner without the special tool and last week replaced the CPS)so I will probably tackle replacing the turbo myself. ? is, are there any special tools or procedure for installing a CHRA and/or rebuilding the existing using the kit? Any knowledge/experience out there willing to impart. Hope I'm not over-estimating myself. One post said four hours to replace turbo; I'm plan 12ish.

Thanks in advance,

P.S. The experts, and amateurs on this board rock. Brian M, Mike L, Swedecar, etc have helped me save thousands over the years. Hoping to do it again.
