That sucks man. You might as well spend the $$ on some upgraded turbos since the labor will be the same. You can do K04 kits from AWE, ASP, APR, ECS to name a few, or you can get just the turbos from JMS and do the fueling later.

There are also RS6 kits, hybrids (don't know much about these set-ups) and all kinds of custom GT builds and tunes. It all depends on how much power you want and how much money you are willing to spend.

Did you forget to put oil back in or what? Don't tell me you put brake fluid in there

Or Olive oil, that's far better on salads than it is on engines...
