Since they're in Atlanta and they're not that mechanically inclined...I've
asked them to send me a copy of the repair order to give it a look-see. I'm
not sure exactly what/how it happened, but they did verify that both turbos
blew and there was some head damage (don't know which one). (I'm guessing
head gasket...could be wrong though.)
Look at it this way, her husband is in the military and they don't really do
regular maintenance on their vehicles. (Well...my sister does...he
doesn't.)
I'll have more details once I see the repair order.

Tell them to ask alot of question on this repair...
Start with "how did impeller parts make past the intercooler?"
Someting sounds fishy...
