I don't know your mechanic, I don't know if he's a good guy/bad guy/whatever - and it really doesn't make a difference to diagnosing the problem - I call it based on the symptoms you describe.

I don't know many people who'd want to fit a brand new turbo in an 8 year old car - doesn't make good sense. A rebuilt unit (from a reputable source) is as good as new, and will work fine.
