So I took my Mini into the dealership to get a quote for break replacement. By the time I was done the bill was $8800. The main culprit was the turbo, pictured below. apparently the turbo is leaking oil. I believe it's a bad gasket. There has never been a loss of oil pressure, oil stains after parking, or anything that would signal an issue.

I guess my question is: I don't want to go through the dealership and pay 4K to replace the turbo when the car itself is not worth the $8800 that the dealership says I need in repairs. What are my options as far as replace/repair of the turbo without destroying my bank account.

If anyone's wondering the invoice follows:
front breaks complete: $740
Rear breaks complete: $666
Turbo Charger leaking: $4027
front timing cover leaking: $861
crank pulley: $897
lower motor mount soaked in oil: $246
New tires and alignment: $1000

need to know the year and engine of the car,,

From everything that I've researched it's the F56 3-Cyl, turbo, 1.5L. I assume the year would be 2014 since thats the year of the car

even if exchange rate was double the prices are harsh in my book for sure,

The prices are crazy, but they do include the $145 per hour labor charge that the dealership charges. Thanks for all the info
