depend's on:

turbo or non turbo..

i would say turbo would cost around....this is a guesstimate btw....3800
also a guesstimate....and non turbo would cost around....3500 i think. its been awhile, but im sure price's have eather gone up or down.
and that's with everything replaced..except the side seal's & corner seal's depending on there condition you could prolly reuse them..unless you wanna buy all new one's..its peace of mind.

i would break it down..and get the price's for everything and add it all up..then you'll have a more accurate total.
or you can go look for the master rebuild kit that come's with everything you need for a complete rebuild..then all you have to worry about is the lapping of the iron's and whatever portwork you want done..

you might want to start thinking about it then cause that can only get worse..that's what happend to me and my motor. and the down time sucked, while i was trying to save money and gather all the stuff that i needed for the build.
