Does anyone know how many hours of labor are typically required to replace the turbo on a 2013 Chevy Cruze LT 1.4?

I’m looking to get an estimate of the labor costs involved in changing the turbo on my 2013 Chevy Cruze LT. Any insights or rough estimates would be greatly appreciated.

Its booking time is for three hours.

Just so you know, when you’re in there, remember to change the turbo oil lines. Additionally, it would be a good time to make sure there are no leaks in the oil cooler by checking it. It is fixed to the block in the rear of the turbo. To replace it, the turbo must be removed.

Isn’t it directly at the front of the engine??? Like, you open the hood and BAM, it’s staring you in the face?
If nothing broke or cracked during the removal, I think I could finish in two hours. If I wasn’t drunk and/or lying.

I would charge around 5-6 hours.

Book time on it is 3.0 hours FWIW, make sure to replace the turbo oil lines while you’re in there. It’d also be a good time to check the oil
