Turbo drain seals S80

I have a 2001 S80 t6. Noticed a burning smell recently, and local indie says it's oil leaking from the turbo drain seals -- around $500 to fix. IPD sells the gasket for $8.50, so parts are $17 (because it's a twin turbo). Is it really possible that this job takes 6+ hours?

Only found conflicting information by searching. In an earlier post (http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/index.htm?id=803533) Chris says:

We've only had to do these seven times, most times they were under warranty, and we jumped for joy. I have three techs, so being fair, only one of the guys has had to do it three times, therefore no tricks have been learned as yet. It is a HUGE pain in the ass, with a lift, and no tricks up our sleeves, it is a steady four hour job. Just have a cool engine, and a cool temper. Breathe in...breathe out...buy an extended warranty...

On the other hand, IPD said on the phone that it's maybe an hour, and others seem to have done it themselves using the IPD kit. What's the story? Is it so hard to get at on a 2001 S80 that it really takes forever, or am I getting a bad deal?
