If your car doesn't have the latest PCV update it's very possible that that's the sole reason of your problems. PCV problems show very similar symptoms as turbo failures. I'm assuming you've got lots of smoke? If there's something plugged up in the PCV it won't allow oil to drain from the turbo properly, therefore you can't tell if the turbo is bad or not. If this is the case start with the PCV, which is very cheap, relative to the turbo replacement. If you're following the oil change specs I highly doubt your turbo is bad after 38k miles. The turbo on my V6, while not the same as the one on the LPT but very similar, lasted 160k.
