Provided the problem is isolated with the turbo and has nothing to do with the engine then there isn't much it will hurt provided it doesn't come apart, which is rare. To determine if it is just the turbo, look into the symptoms the car exhibits (doesn't go into boost, blows smoke out the back on one side, has an visible oil leak under the car...etc).
If it is just that one turbo then you can get a replacement CHRA (center housing) for the turbo for around $450 US, which is about $250-300 cheaper than buying a full turbo with both exhaust and intake housings that you already have. Replacement gaskets and such shouldn't cost more than $80 for all of the gaskets surrounding the turbo. However you may find other problems when the motor is out so don't plan on your budget being set in stone.
