Are there any authorized Toyota dealers that would perform the recall without throwing their hands up in the air about the turbo kit?

Is there any other way I can have the mandatory recall performed without incurring a huge expense?

Thanks
At the very least they will charge for the extra labor hours added from the turbo. Brandon at Melody Toyota as contacted the facebook group and will do the work though. I would call and talk to him for details. Many of us will be going though which makes me more confidant in the work and he seems very willing to work with us on rentals, spark plug changes for no extra labor cost, etc.

Also, there would be no warranty on the labor after the recall is performed
