Q: Turbo replacement costs - quote was $2500 is this an accurate quote from a 2011?

asked by on January 30, 2017

2011 Chevrolet Cruz Turbo has failed. What normally does this include and how big of a project!

YourMechanic does not provide services to replace turbochargers unfortunately. It does involve removing intake plumbing as well as removing the exhaust manifold from the engine. However from previous experience, $2500 is about the average parts & labor price to replace a turbo.
