How much to replace oil seals on turbo?

I am wondering how much it generally costs to replace the oil seals on a turbo. My friend has a CT20b with stuffed oil seals. How much does this generally cost to fix if the turbo is removed from the engine and taken to the shop?
Thanks

if this is relating to oil coming out of dump pipe
1st check oil pressure
i just went through this trouble and some turbo specialists told me oil seals and some said the oil pressure was too hi going to the tubo's. when we checked the pressure in the turbo oil line it was 100psi at idle

agreed. the rear seal on toyota (& many other OEM)turbos are no more than a single ring seal, like a piston ring. if you pump too much oil into the core, it saturates the rear of the shaft, & it only takes a poofteenth of oil through the ring seal to make a lot of smoke.
If the seal is worn beyond its limit, a turbo shop is likely to charge you labour to dismantle & reassemble the turbo, bead blast the exhaust wheel & possibly rear of the core, plus re-balance the shaft & wheel assembly. Most will recommend putting a complete kit through the turbo (bearings etc) while its apart. If you can convince them to replace the seal only, expect to pay around $200 ($70 labour, $6 seal, $120 balance). Its a lot of labour for a part worth under 10 bucks.
Cheers

I reckon it should be fine. It would take more than excess oil pressure to damage a ring seal, unless perhaps you'd done 50,000km like that.
