I have just learned to budget twice the normal time alloted, even as I have become more proficient after all these years.

Just my 2 cents, it is possible to do it over a weekend, but for someone in a garage with hand tools who has never done it before----if I am a betting man, it's not lookin' too good

This is a very good point. My budget assumes the turbos have been installed/removed in about the last year, which means no broken studs and no major foul-ups.

I agree - if the turbos haven't been pulled, the budget of hours becomes days.
