Dennis is a great standup guy. Did excellent work on my B5.

I got a kick of out this one from our ex VW mechanic. https://youtu.be/2GGWhOkx3HE

There are some around, I'm a couple hours south of you in Breezewood.

I want to say dealer price on mine was around $4,500. Besides the turbo they dig into oil lines and oil pump as I remember. As I remember they get pretty through about replacing anything that might have gotten some debris in it.
