Question Turbo Removal and Gasket Change

Turns out I need to pull my turbos to change the exhaust manifold gaskets to cure a leak. This is a little beyold my expertise and I would be a little more comfortable if someone else would be willing to do it. I live in central NJ, East Brunswick to be exact. I have no problem dropping the car off. If someone has a weekend to do this for me it would be appreciated, just let me know what its going to run me. Thanks in advance.

I knew I had a leak because of the dreadful sound the car was producing so I took it in to my mechanic to have them change my downpipe and install a midpipe with a high-flow cat. All I knew at the time is that there was a bad flange on the old downpipe but after changing the parts the sound still remained. My mechanic traced it back to the exhaust manifold and then noticed the warn gaskets.
