A turbo can be rebuilt under $400 by a number of speciality shops.

When my turbo finally goes, I'll probably ask Scott QSHIPQ to rebuild it
to the RS2 specs. Two hares will be killed with one shot (er two birds
will be hit with one stone for all fellow americans on the list):
1. I'll get a scream mobile in place of the allready fairly quick car.
2. My money will go to a fellow lister, rather than to a scalping
dealer.

Fred, I do suggest that you talk to Scott before you_do_anything with
your turbo!

Just my 2 kopecks.
