Is it a 2.0 bkd ?
If so it's quite common

Buy a new turbo from a decent company IE turbo technics, Midlands turbos etc
Remove intercooler and all boost pipework and thorough clean it out.

Worst case turbo parts have gone into engine. (Rare)
Best case is as above.

New turbo can be had for £3-400 and 6-7 hours labour for turbo swap and intercooler cleaning
