I see or do this repair in the shop at least once every two weeks (repairs have quieted down quite a bit). With a lift, tools handy, and having done quite a few; it still takes me around 4.5-5 hours. I believe the hardest part of the whole repair is putting the turbo intake tube back on. I put the seal onto the turbo charger first and then take a heat gun to the tube to soften it up for easier install.
