The Ford Master Tech is charging me about $1200 to remove and replace EGR & oil coolers, clean turbo, install coolant filter, remove and replace passenger side valve cover gasket, replace serpentine belt, and a few other odds and ends. Parts for everything is inching up to $1500.
Learning is great. I leave in 3 weeks for a 5 week cross country trip. Vans are a pain to work on if you are in a hurry. I have been wrenching on it since last September. My hourly rate for over time is about the same rate he charges.

I know local shops charge about 600.00 labor to remove, clean, and re-install, however, if you want or need a new unison ring, add another buck and a half.
Nothing is cheap when fixing these guys and to Irish's point, a new adventure each day when digging in yourself.

I might have him clean the turbo when I have him put exhaust gaskets on.
