Any of these known Perth workshops are competent for the work involved.

To answer your question, due to the boxer engine & the work involved to do it right. it's indeed an out fix as far as im aware.

Having a modern day PC without an SSD is like hiring a hooker for hugs.......

expensive job, engine out, may aswell change timing belt/water pump etc whilst its in bits

ive heard of people doing them in the car, but I wouldn't recommend it

To do them in car you need to remove the cam carrier. Pulling the motor out gives you easy access to the turbo,manifold and all other parts. Far easier to pull the motor out
