If this system became wet as you described its possible that the dealer is correct and the IBS needs to be replaced.
I have done some research and asked couple mechanics, found out that, there are two BST cables, one long and one short. Actually I'm kinda hoping someone can give me a clue where to order those parts. For the long cable, the labor would take more than 3 hours, cuz they have to really take the car into pieces....

Yes, but they weren't able to help decide which one to use, the long one or short one. I believe they are both called BST cable...and their price is way too high compared to one short cable I found on Ebay.
