Turbo Replacement - Cost

Hey folks...
My 2001 9-5 2.3lpt w/135K miles is starting to show the occassional puff of smoke at startup, after sitting for a few hours... Seems to be white/blue mixture.. I've noticed its been more pronounced the last couple of weeks.. and my oil consumption has gone up slightly... I did the PCV#6 upgrade a year or so ago... so I'm assuming the turbo seals are at fault here....
1) I live in the Connecticut/New Haven area... any suggestions on an Indie or dealership to do this job?
2) What should I expect to pay for this job..? I was quoted $1758 from Swedish Performance in Branford.. but that seemed kinda high to me..given they use a rebuilt turbo..
3) Is this something worth trying to tackle myself? If so, any one have any step by step instructions they can share? I've done brakes/calipers/struts, etc.. in the past.. Would I be taking on too much?
your input is appreciated....
Mike
