if the turb lite comes on it means that something has melfunciond like the oil or water feed stoped. i might of had a blockage in the turbos oil feed and the bearing may have dried up and screamed. that would probs be the only thng that would do that and then run fine again. if you want to check the bearings pull the air intake pipe off and see if you can wiggle the main shaft with your fingers. it should have max 0.5mm of movement. hope this helps.

how skilled are you in the workshop? i rebuilt my turbo myself. i brought a kit it had the bearings, seals and i got a new terbine cause it had chips missing off the old one
. It cost me $160 all up and got busy in my work shop. took bout 2-3hours but time flys when you have fun. its not that hard just rember where every thing went. you will save bout $700 $800 on labor. and i wasnt prepared for some wally
to work on such a important part of my engine.
