So, this morning the car started up with a huge puff of blue smoke pluming out the exhaust. I shut her off, popped the hood, and after a bolt or two... pulled the oil soaked filter out.

I'm pretty sure that, coupled with the brand new squeaking noise coming out of the back left of my engine bay, means primary turbo is not exactly running at 100%.

Question I have is: what are my realistic and recession oriented options? This is the first time I've had a turbo failure in any vehicle so any advice is welcome.

Thanks in advance.

If the turbos died, get some good used ones and bolt em up. They can be had for around $250 median in the For Sale section. I've noticed that if you've added oil (recently) to the filler you can suck oil in the primary turbo via the vent tube for the oil system and it will shoot out the BOV and get on the filter. Just check everything before ripping out the turbos, it's a pain in the neck the first time around.
