Message	to just replace the whole engine in the case of replacing turbos. Anything else done to the engine requires taking everything off the engine and/or taking the engine apart which means engine pull itself is only just under $2k its the parts and time taken to change those parts that brings it to $3k. So do you guys know anyone cheaper in the Tampa area? And pulling the engine DIY is not an option. How the hell are you going to have acess to a lift and how much of your time after work would you spend on something like that?!@#?
