Message . Is the price fair?(being done by reputable Z shop in Lauderdale

Get a detailed written estimate for labor and parts.

2. Should I expect some type of break on labor at least the clutch install because they have to drop the trans anyways

Some shops don't, some do. They really should give you some break on the labor. Ask =).

3. Car has 67k on it should I get the 120k done or is it a little overkill?

Have you done the 60k service?

4. Is it mandatory to pull the engine when doing the turbos. they are not the only place that's told me that it's easier jjust to partially pull the motor instead of completly yanking it out

It's not mandatory, but I'm not sure how they would do a lot of manipulation without disconnecting the majority of the wiring hardness.

5. The right turbo is grinding and screeching, so obviously I'm not using the car at all and stays covered all the time but is it safe for me to occasionally start the car and drive it over a short way to friends house and do some personal mechanical work on it? The car never goes above 35 mph and is driven as easily as possible

I wouldn't drive it. Borrow your friend's bike or something. Seriously.
