The thermostat was ok but I changed it anyway since the water pump was being done. The total bill came to $2,500 with a 10% discount. I do mostly in town driving and only very rarely hit the turbo.

$2,500 is highway robbery, but then again you are in Hawaii, so maybe its not. ?
I think most dealers charge about four to five hours labor(rate) plus the parts. Most guys on the forum end up paying around $1,100 for everything(pump. e-stat, coolant). The OFH gasket runs about $500 - I think. ?
