you know how much should i be looking for labor?

I think it's like 900-1000 for parts and labor but give them a call to make sure.

you can buy the parts from blau (www.audiquattroparts.com) or www.ecstuning.com. maybe cheaper to get the parts and have a shop install them for you. decent write up on AW if you want to do it yourself. a friend helped me do mine, but it took about 6 hours b/c we took our time. also installed a greedspeed snub mount at the same time.

what does DSR stand for? I tried looking it up on yahoo yellowpages, but couldn't find it. I need to change my timing belt too i'm running close to 68500 miles. I would change it myself because I've done almost all my mods by myself, but now that I've moved back to the bay area, I don't have all the tools that my old roommate supplied for me. Also, Anything else I should change besides timing belt, water pump and snub mount? Should i change my thermostat?
