700$, good luck. You will have almost zero profit margins with that. I already priced out all of the parts with both the 25 and 33 row kits and 700$ would be pretty much 5-8% profit margin - that would suck!

I'm replacing the line to the oil cooler and I have run into a problem getting the fitting off the engine, what can I use to remove this. Does anyone know what size it is as well 26 mm? I already removed the banjo fitting at the cooler so I'm just stuck at this point, any help would be great, thanks.

Bullshit. There's no way they can demand what parts you replace AND where you replace them. Think about it: "We won't fix your car until you get your oil changed.....but you have to do it at the dealer for $1000." I'd tell them they have 2 options:
1)Fix what they're legally required to.
2)You calling the state DA's office, Better Business Bureau , and your lawyer.

With that $2000 it's going to cost you, it may really be worth it to consult with a lawyer.

Also, there's a specific federal law that says manufacturers CANNOT void your warranty for using aftermarket parts unless they can prove those parts caused the failure. I'm not sure what this warranty it is that you're talking about but I wouldn't be suprised if the didn't have to follow the same rules.

...I would also ask them to provide the official Mazda documentation saying that those lines MUST be replaced when the turbos are replaced.
