I would just replace the turbo but i just had a compression test done and it is only running on 3 1/2 cylinders.
What are the compression readings? 3 1/2 cylinders is pretty good, I mean most of the time its usually 2 or 3 , never 3 1/2.

If the motor was tight & ran fine before this problem, you may want to look into getting her rebuilt. I mean, for a little extra work, you will have a fresh engine instead of one that you do not know anything about. You have to pull the motor & take off everything when you swap it out, so why not just freshen up the bottom end and be set for another 150 K or more miles.
