Need a dealer recommendation for turbo replacement out of warranty in DMV area.

So my wastegate is rattling, I need a dealer who knows what he is doing and wont try to rip me off or make the situation difficult.

Live in 22150 work in 20817.

Sterling BMW replaced mine after diagnosing the WG rattle while I was still under warranty. My SA is gone now regrettably

If you want to do it on the cheep, don't go to the dealer. Buy the turbos yourself (ebay, Tischer, etc) and then have an indy install them. Clem did my turbo install when I got RB turbos, and he's done a bunch since then.

(I will point out that this is the perfect opportunity for you to go to upgraded turbos, if funds allow!)
