Rebuilding a Turbo as preventive maintainance worthwhile?

Fellow Diesel Enthusiasts:
I hope I do not get in trouble for posting a non diesel question here, but I only trust my fellow Diesel Heads for advice.. This turbo is on my Volvo 940 1991 Turbo (Gas) with a 170,000 miles on it..I bought the car at 155K for $1200 with a bad engine which I rebuilt. Is it smart to rebuild the Turbo now, before it fails?
I am afraid if I wait too long, the coked bearings will ultimately lead to its demise. I dont want to buy a new one later, that would be $800.00 and it would mean I would be smarter to junk the car.
If i rebuild my present Turbo while its still living, i could buy one of those kits and do it for $300 or less...

Thank you, sorry again for a non diesel post
