A few months back my neighbour and I put a new turbo on his car. Garage quoted nearly €2000 (with a year guarantee on work and parts).
We got the turbo for €450 from a company which sells new and recon turbos (plus about €25 for a fitting kit - gaskets, small tube of oil etc). Took us best part of a day (turbo was low down and between the engine and the bulkhead), but went without too much trouble.
Maybe you could DIY it?

We didn't need a lot of tools - just a few spanners, a jack and axle stands.
I'm lucky that I have a very big shed to work in, but you could do it outside in decent weather. Wouldn't fancy tackling it on the street though.
It was the first time we'd swapped a turbo. It's really not difficult.
