timing chain and turbo lines?

When having the timing chain assembly replaced is it much more work to change the turbo oil lines. Probably getting the chain done and thought if it wouldn't take much more work while they are in there I might get the turbo lines changed as well. I gather it is pretty pricey to do on it's own.
Thinking of having the timing chain done due to the racket I have heard a few mornings when it has been on the colder side. I don't have a warranty and would rather not risk blowing my motor. I figure if I pay to replace the chain assembly I would be covered by that warranty for a couple of years if the chain were responsible for some sort of disaster. What do you guys think.

Might be worth checking with your dealer. There is a service bulletin out about the cam chain noise and they might fix it for free, even though it's technically out of warranty.

I just had my 2009 MCCS in for it's 30k checkup and they replaced the cam chain tensioner..all for free...now the car is much quieter!
