just did the turbo on my '00 base (55Kmi)-- was having the blue smoke on cold start problem but no excessive oil consumption -- checked for oil in the throttle body -- just a couple of bolts to remove the pipe and open the butterfly -- if there's clean oil there, about the only place for it to come from is the turbo seals....
i got mine rebuilt by evergreen turbo in florida (345+ shipping) -- i believe one of the sponsors had new exchange units for 440...but i'm too cheap
did find a broken exhaust manifold stud which was a pain to replace - so surfacing the exhaust manifold may be necessary also
can be done with regular hand tools (a set of metric gearwrenches is needed) - will have to drain power steering and coolant
might consider replacing the waterpump while everything is apart -- mine started "weeping" about 4 weeks later...or any of the idler or tensioner pulleys if needed...
