Default Blown turbo?

I have a 2005.5 A4 2.0 w/115K miles that supposedly is leaking oil at the turbo. My garage mechanic says I probably have about 5K-10K miles left before it totally blows. Is a rebuilt turbo an ok idea? if so who do I purchase from? I don't see many choices to get one out there. I don't think I need a high perf. one, just to get another 100K out of the turbo would be great.

I would love to also get a boost gauge for the cockpit. Without it being obnoxiously large or obvious. Wireless options? Thoughts, TIA!

When my turbo was leaking in my A4, I believe it was the intercooler pipe that was leaking at the gaskets. Try to make sure that it is not the gaskets.

Has anyone had any experience with TurbochargerPros? They want to sell me a house brand turbo, reliable?
