usually will cost about $1000 from a workshop which will include a radiator flush, cooling system flush and getting the head cleaned, decked and tested etc..

If it's "pissing out" there, then you've done more than a head gasket. It should vapourise long before it gets to the end.

depends if you want performance or just to get the car fixed... Performance: rebuild with all the goodies and a new turbo etc because money doesn't seem to be a problem. Get on road asap: Buy another A8 engine and slot straight in just change over.

Suggestion: Find out whats actually wrong with it first. If its the head or gasket fix it. If the blocks cracked like fckin badly then it would be pouring out the aSS end. When my block cracked you couldn't notice any steam even, What were you doing? Unlimited boost?
