Default talk to the tech doing the work on the car he may "accidently pick up the wrong turbo"
if the K04's happen to be in the box the k03's are suppose to be in ;-)

Default No.
Find a reputable independent. Labor should be something like $2400, (or possibly a bit less). K04s have been somewhat pricey of late due to the Dollar/Euro dilemma. I believe they're about $2700 a set...

Figure $5100 at most, and you'd have $900 left for trimmings.

Default that's RAPE. You can get K04s with inlet pipes for < 3 grand, and labor is NOT 3 grand.
Find a good independent shop.
