Not sure on the turbo time, but check the number 3 injector connector and the two vacuum hoses at the front right of the engine whilst you're at it.



Leaks in these hoses can affect the operation of the turbo...

My Autodata quotes 3.30 hours to renew. I would add another 1/2 hour on top of that.

Hope this helps.
