I want to say $125 from ECS. Plus I was following the "Wrench Lab" Mega-build and he replaced his due to the same issue.

Surprised at how much better the engine bay looks with that new tank and new blue fluid after the WP/Thermo replacement.

Not sure that the tank typically fails at 85K miles but if you plan on keeping the car long term -- all the plastic parts on the turbo side of the car are prone to heat failure and it is a good idea to R&R.
funny tho...mine is opposite turbo!
