Default how long should it take a specialist to remove and refit a turbo??
Just a quick question, on roughly how long it should take??

Cars running a FMIC, so no need to remove intercooler etc for access.

Its a on a newage if it makes any difference from a classic.

Thanks

It took me 2 hours when I swapped the VF35 out a few weeks ago.

On my old one, took 4 hours due to the top mount and some 'persistently' crap bolts

a couple of hours but you have to factor in snapped and seized bolts

well I believe the turbo was fitted roughly this time last year, so its not on the original unit so hopefully bolts etc should be ok
