Thats always difficult to have a customer see a car completely apart. We had an X5 in the shop that needed a body harness replaced. Everything has to come out, and customers will stare in awe about all the things placed outside the car. We usually make a joke and say "we are gonna find that rattle!"

Yeah, one of my techs had the evaporator out of an E38 the other day (if you've been there then you know) and the customer wanted to come get something out of the car. I told the writer to ask him what he wanted and we would get it for him.
We'd be chasing phantom rattles on that car for the rest of it's life if the customer had seen that car torn down to the firewall.
Pulling the turbo's off really isn't a big deal, they'll get the new one on and everything will be all good. BTW, I've seen a couple of cars leak oil from the rear oil return tube where it goes into the block. On those particular cars the o-ring that seals the tube to the block got pinched at the factory causing the oil leak.
