My advice to you would be to ask the company your going to use to do the work there hourly labour cost it's as simple as that really,most of the parts you mentioned is bolt on parts so I doubt it would take any compidant mechanic all day.SJ.

Well I know my friends type r we had the turbo and exhaust off in under an hour And it took us 15 mins to change the injectors with the 2 of us, 1 either side, its the cleaning and aligning back up when going back on when working on the floor that takes the time, up on ramps up in the air it would be pretty straight forward for a good garage, probably around 2-3 hours start to finish garage dependant if its a straight forward swap and no fettling is needed

Thanks that's great to hear ,with things being a bit tight at the moment and a expensive esl remap coming up next month , I'm thinking about the turbo and injector swap to get the full benefits out of the remap ,bought a decat pipe today ,seen injectors for £60 and have my eye on a couple of turbos .decisions decisions

My friend if you feel that the company that your going to use is going to rip you off then you have doubts so really you should be looking for company's that get good feedback from there customers,you need to be able to trust whoever is going to be doing the work for you otherwise why are you going to be taking your car there in the first place.SJ.
