Turbo replacement aftermarket recommendations

So I got the "T" word diagnosis today I'm obviously not going to replace it OEM at the dealership they want 3500.00... has anyone run the Peugeot turbos? I need a cheap aftermarket turbo or if there's any places the rebuild affordably. I don't have much money due to lay off but start my new job on Monday. I wouldn't mind upgrading but I'm not in the financial situation to do so.. any recommendations are helpful, thanks I. Advance! I have a 2012 countryman.

Go with a new one as rebuilds we have found to not be reliable. And going with something aftermarket will end up with other issues
We keep them in stock and do them all the time in our shop

Go with Prototype-R. Lou (Tiger in the forums) is the guy to go to. More than outstanding customer service and great product.
