Having just swapped turbos this weekend, let me say

that yes you can get a used one from a junkyard, but you take your chances. It may be in the yard because the turbo was going out. Go to a rebuilder. Here we have a place called Majestic Turbo. He rebuilt my last one (a couple of years ago) for less than $325. And like some one said above, if you can see anything in your rear view mirror, the oil seals are not shot yet.
One last thing. Swapping out your turbo is not all that easy. It is not all that hard either but it is more than just 4 bolts and a couple of oil lines. On the 8v turbos Bentley tells you to remove the exhaust manifold. You can do it without removing the manifold if you have some special tools. A biggie is to make sure and clean the oil lines while you have access. Good luck
