Sorry to hear of your failed turbos... the PureTurbos look pretty slick.

Labor will always be a PIA: $185+/hr with 20-25hr is about right for that project... my slate roof just went from $35k in repairs to $157k in repairs... until I asked for details, found the "fluff" and fired the guy. I wish I could do my own work like you are able to do on your car.

Good luck.
