KO3s

Hi. What's a rough price for a decent second hand KO3s turbo. Also does anyone know a rough labour time for removal and refitting?  Thanks

It seems that a decent condition K03s will go for about 150 then up to and around 100 for one in good condition

Cheers Guys. Is the removal and install of a turbo a lot of man hours? Just wondering if I do need a turbo weather I can afford it lol

Is there a simple guide to taking off the turbo? or does it all involve draining of oil removing exhaust manifold and that?
