Hi Jim,What do you consider to be a ridiculous amount? Have you rebuilt an engine or part of one before? Hope someone who can help you sees this.
Hi,Well sounds like your raring to get stuck in.I can't help you but, just to help the tech heads a bit, could you list the garret number and details for them please

They’re asking $500 plus. One guy wanted $1100 lol. I’ve replaced a turbo in a car some time ago but wanted to know if there’s anything in particular I should know before I pull it apart.
I just replaced the turbo on my 2008 CRDi last month. You must remove the exhaust manifold with the turbo attached, then detach the turbo. All work possible from top of engine, except the oil pipe from turbo to oilpan must be removed from underside. I did this in my carport with just a normal jack so it's possible DIY work. I spend ca 4-5 hours I think.Mine lasted 280.000 before replacement..

Supplier couldn't find a suitable one for my model so he got the old one in his repairshop to be refurbished. Now there's no "ambulance siren" sound when accelerating..

Thanks to him Nothing exceptional about the job, especially if you have done this sort of work before.Cheers.

As stated nothing irregular , normal R & R , attention to detail and correct torque values. pretty boring really.

I had to use impact gun just to remove the exhaust heat shield when under 100k km...

Hi All,Thanks for your input with replacing the turbo. All went well with install. I have an issue though. When I first start the car (when engine is cold) everything appears to be fine. Once engine is warm it seems like the turbo becomes louder. It’s very odd. The turbo is brand new but it sounds like it’s the bearings. Could bearings actually become noisy in the turbo once it’s warmed up? It has me baffled. It’s a really odd whine noise, I wouldn’t even call it a whine but more of a grinding / rubbing sound. Anyone have an idea what this could be?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm with Asterix, should be quiet.I would not keep driving with it making that noise. Have you checked that the oil feed is clear and working? If it is bearing noise, or lack of lubricant, it should be looked at pronto. If lube is ok and if it is a genuine Garrett turbo, return it now.

So I sent it back and I’ve got another to put back on question though, how do you take off the gold metal pipe that bolts onto the manifold? I can remove it from the manifold side but I can’t fit any tools to remove the two nuts on the opposite end. Here’s a pic of that pipe. I left it on last time but unbolted the manifold end. It still gets in the way trying to manoeuvre the manifold to remove it. Would be a lot easier if it was removed. Any advice?

Any advice?Well, would you believe I just happened to replace one myself last week, 2 days in the searing Sun on th eside of the road. I removed the EGR with that attached but I was hampered by the short water hose under neath which I eventually removed to give claer access to the bolts.Can't advise on the smartest or correct manner but a lot of cursing was involved at the time.
