When my motor goes I will probably get new turbos as well. I was told by a reputable shop that it was around $6k "to do it right."

The quote you had mentioned the guy getting new turbos as well when the motor goes assuming thats what it ment. Perhaps it's justa price difference from region. BUt I know of people who have gotten it done cheaper.
