Yea, I'm with John. Probably the turbo. Your car uses the GT17 which is not known for it reliability. Check that first.
You can have the turbo rebuilt if the damage isn't bad and the blades (both turbine and compressor) haven't been damaged. Otherwise you'll be better off buying a reman or new off eBay. Just watch out for the cheap Chinese knockoffs.
The gt17 isnt known for being a reliable turbo and for this reason I would avoid a used turbo here. Someone might know better than me though.
