Two days !?!  :o
Book it in for when you have 2 days off...and hang around the car whilst he's doing the job  :y

I would say a few hours for the turbo if they know what they are doing.

Sounds okay, as long as studs don't break.
Give 'em all a good soaking with Plus Gas the night before, and 'fingers crossed' you should be alright.

good sense says put new manifold to head gaskets on and the turbo gasket is a must if you want to avoid boost leak!!

Or Silkolene Silkopen. I easily removed injectors from two different engines after an overnight dose of Silkopen. One engine has 225k miles on the clock and has been idle for 18 months.
