I'm with Chad, and "less than book value" depends a lot on what you have to spend on the turbo replacement. The job is easy, except for getting the v-band clamp screw back, which should be easy, but i always manage to make it last over an hour. If you do change the turbo remember to blow the oil out of the intercooler. I would recommend add a small drain hose to the out hose for about week thereafter too. If you dont replace the turbo, i would recommend bypass the intercooler and put an air filter on the "other" side - bits from yr local parts store, or run some 2 1/2" hose across the front. The T7 is such a polite ECU, i just asks for torque, if the turbo isnt there, it doesnt mind. Much. chris
