Blown Turbo - $4000?
So my car was dragged off the other morning and I got a call this morning from the dealer, they won't cover under warrenty (chipped) and tell me the turbo's blown. Estimated parts and labor is $3800 plus tax!!!!!!!! Any thoughts or ideas?

new K04's, if that is what you have>>>
are like 1000$....so does it sound right that audi is charging you for 3000$ for labor?????
if you figure, worse case, 100$/hr...that's 30HRS of work...you can rebuild the ENTIRE motor in that time....
I say, get another opinion. If they will not cover under warranty...find a good speed shop. You will be happier in the end, IMO.

30 hours to rebuild your engine? very unlikely.
taking to turbo apart and putting it together takes about 10 hours. and the dealers turbo probably costs $2000.
the only way he is gonna save money is if he does it himself or gets a friend to do it.

Not sure where you are getting 2000$ for a k04>>>
but here is an entire KIT for 2200$ and that is for 2 k04's...... if the page opens to the audi link, scroll down and you will see the Rs4 kit...
and that is without shopping....
Plus with all of the parts readily available to swap, i would be willing to bet you CAN rebuild a 1.8T in 30 hours or so.....
Just my opinion.....<ul><li><a href="http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/pagebuild_v2.cgi?home=Audi">http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/pagebuild_v2.cgi?home=Audi</a</li></ul>
