Question 951 Turbo installation

I'm looking to find out what anyone has paid to have a turbo replaced (labor only), as mine is leaking oil like a banshee. Could be just the gaskets or oil lines, so the turbo need to come out regardless. Thanks!

I had a leaking O-ring in an oil line to the turbo. Four hours of labor to replace the O-ring - about $285. Your problem might not be the same, of course.

If you have to remove the turbo, count on at least 8 hours of labor charges.
