Turbo replacement. How many hours did it take to put the lower oil line?

I wonder if they tried to make this thing impossible to replace? These cars are poorly engineered. If they were well engineered, they would be easier to work on. Well engineered means that in addition to performing well, it is possible to work on them.

15 mintues once i removed it. Dissconnect it from the oil pan and pull it out with the turbo, then when you install the turbo fish it down through and connect it to the oil pan. Takes a litte brains to understrand a well engineered car

These cars are very well engineered.. A car thats easy to work on doesnt mean that its well engineered. It is possible to work on them, but it isnt always easy. Sounds like you should have bought a Chevy, what did you expect with a german car??
