GCG (www.gcg.com.au) in Condell Park I found were very reasonable... was quoted $850 to hi-flow my CT26 with the T04E wheel.

mate, $850 is an excellent price! did that include new bearings?
to buy the compressor wheel on its own cost me $275, plus $380 for bearing kit, plus $120 for balancing, plus machining & labour  There's no way I would have done it myself if I had been quoted only $850 for a workshop to do it!!

I highly recommend GCG - the guys there are very prefessional and attentive - prices were more than reasonable.

CGCs were good with my T04E, they took it off and took it apart for $250. They were friendly too.

The quote for $850 included the reconditioning of the turbo itself (provided all components were in good order). Any labour or additional parts needed (ie. bearings) are at an additional cost obviously.
I was quite impressed with their service and manner over the phone and easily undercut similiar workshops like Garret themselves.
