Price depends on if you use new or old parts plus around 10 hours labour.

10 hours labour, surely not!!!

I thought its 5-6hrs labour

Id say that the realistic maximum.

On a ramp removing the exhaust and turbo is easy.  No more than an hour IMO.  Installing the DV relocation/DV/cable and new IC/TB pipe is fiddly but id imagine an hour would be sufficient.  Injectors a little more fiddly maybe 1-2 hours.

Sorry boys I wouldn't need any of the other bits as everything is already done I just had a slight malfunction with the turbo Friday night so just need it replacing

call GNJ Motorsport and AKS Tuning.

They will both fit and supply.

seeing i had to help install an APR RFD over the weekend.
It's about 4-6 hours to remove front of car and pull intake manifold off.

10 hours are pretty skeptical really.

Come down and prove it Sy. I will pay you 100 quid an hour if you can do a turbo swap in an hour.

It's around 4 to swap the turbo, 3 for injectors inc cleaning the intakes and another couple fitting all the other bits and bobs.  Then you have to hope that it all comes apart without and studs etc snapping.

Lol,  cool your jets!!

not done a turbo swap but have changed DV and exhaust on the Octavia when I was in germany on our workshop ramp.  Seemed a simple enough job from what i remember when looking at it.  That said, you have the experience, i dont, so i will stand down 

Those tea breaks take up some time dont they

Its all the chatting they do mid job. Bit of day dreaming, whistle a few songs before you know it, dinner time!

Its the chatting to customers all day that takes up the time 

And the forum time!

Its not too bad getting the turbo off the head, but the challenge is getting it out the gap.  Has to come out the bottom.  I leave the subframe on, but disconnect the driveshaft from the box.  One arm holding the turbo and the other on the shaft  .
