Just to install two turbos I bought they want to charge 2300 $. 21 hours of labor.. does this sound right?

Way too high.
You can get it done for way cheaper at an indy shop.
I know of a good one in Tallahassee if you can't find one locally

Thats cray. You can get it done for much closer to $1k, just make sure its a good shop, its not a simple procedure.

I believe 21 hours is book time? I'm sure you can shop around for a better price. Make sure the shop understands what this install entails, it's not the easiest.

Also tell the shop that the wastegates need to be adjusted before installation!
