Re:junkyard prices
To get good prices you need to go to "U-Pull It Yards". The places where they strip the parts off have to charge more to cover their labor cost. The U Pull Yards only have a few people working there and most of the time they don't know much about cars.Like when you get to the counter with the parts you just pulled off some car and the girl behind the counter says OK what is this? Well lets see an intercooler is $25 and an oil cooler is $8, ah its an oil cooler ya thats what it is, an oil cooler. ;D

Re:junkyard prices
Well it falls basically on the owner. Some will check everything in there computers for pricing. I got a blitz blow off valve yesterday for 40 bucks at my local yard off a 3000 gt that just came in. I have yet to find a yard that sells turbos for a fair price though. It's sad but for most people ebay may be the best route.
