And I'm pretty sure they put out a warranty warning to other dealerships.

Jeebus...Get in contact with Mal Wood Automotive about the diff, and as others have said, there are plenty of used and near new parts available from other sources. Here is a Turbo for sale: http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=55755Take the car to your trusted mechanic or performance workshop and get them to do the work.

The turbo got to hot when towing a boat and must not of let cool down for long enough.Also I was told there was a straight bolt on turbo that can replace the GT3540 that is stronger, what model is it?
