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

I can confirm that Brandon Chang at Melody Toyota was simply excellent. Melody Toyota were happy to work on my turbo charged FR-S. For the recall they charge $100/hr for any additional labor that your modifications add to the time necessary to do the recall. In my case it was 4 hours. In addition, at my request, they replaced the throw-out bearing, inspected the clutch, changed the spark plugs and replaced the coil pack on cylinder one. In total they took two weeks to perform the recall and were kind enough to send me photos of the engine showing me the cause of a small oil leak they that was rectified by tightening a fixture on the oil return line from the turbo.
I've had the car back for two weeks now and it runs really well, as well as it did before the recall. If you have a modified car and need the recall done I would very much recommend call Brandon at Melody Toyota in San Bruno.
