I know you can't speak for all shops, but what are the reasonable expectations?

If the standard is "as is" with no protection, then i'll be doing my own install and taking my sweet time.
The standard is "as is" generally. For a shop to "warranty" something like this, they would want you to source parts, labor, and tuning from them. No shop will warranty a blown engine from an aftermarket turbo install, but it'd be reasonable to expect replacement or extra work for missing bolts or improper install (I.e. gaskets, not putting stuff back).
