As I had a turbo failure over the festive holidays, I am switching out the steel manifold for a X8r Cast Iron one, all new gaskets, etc... Reconditioned Garrett Turbo and new Intercooler to turbo hose. All in with an oil change, its over £700 in parts alone so I am happy that I can do this work myself as it would be a PITA if I had to pay 8 hours labour at £90 per hr. So that would but the job at over £1600 which is half the value of the car.
