    If it will make you feel better, since mid August till now I spent over $15 on various repairs with Turbo being the biggest of them. In this sport, you gotto take a few punches on a torso too.

    You most likely have a four core radiator. An new OEM radiator is around $1500, labor is approximately $500 to $600. I based the labor at $100 an hour. So depending on what the hourly rate the shop charges.

    $15K during one quarter :( Spent a lot more from the beginning of the year.
    Last year though looked pretty good for me, way better than expected.
    Still need to fix a few things before the end of the year and need new tires for my trailer. L
