I would say a bit more than that ($250+ for labour)

Due to manifold/turbo having to come out to get to the bolts on the inside. This includes taking off water/oil lines intake/cooler pipes.

Good chance manifold to engine gasket cannot be reused, plus the studs from manifold to turbo should be changed. Looking at $80-$180 for gaskets and studs depending on what type of gaskets are used.

Back to original question though, it would be a good chance to check the condition of the turbo and then decide on rebuild or not.

Hope this helps.

yeah i guess it just depends where you go.

ricol automotive charges around 200 from memory.

and if you only need one gasket then yeah around the 200 mark will probably come close to covering it.
