X^(Y/10)
Where X is the normal cost of the part. Y is how much money you "saved". So if you spend $18 for a jug of tx case fluid instead of the $70 jug from the dealer your cost will be:
70^1.8= $2095

Surge doesn't kill turbos as quick as some people would like you to believe. I'm not saying its good or acceptable I'm just saying that I have ran cars without a BOV and 38 ish psi doing full lifts to shift with that throttle plate slamming shut. People told me it wouldn't last long like that, well it outlasted the motor and the turbo was fine (except the turbo bearing damage due to metal debris from the motor).
either way, i checked the amount of play on the compressor wheel and didnt notice any significant comparative play from when i bought it.
the surge was really affecting the way the car pulled though. it would cut out on power in wot and violently buck to the point where it wasnt even fun to get on it in any other gear but first or second.
problem solved; lesson learned

nah no pictures. this was a super secret squirrel meet.
although someone should have had a video camera at the bar afterwards, i get the impression i was probably fairly entertaining. luckily i had a good designated driver to cruise the MR home. although he couldn't seem to figure out why my windows magically went up and down.
