bpu

how much does a bpu kit cost?

It varies mate

It depends which company you get to do it for you and what exact spec you go for. Mine was around 4.5k with all parts (all HKS kit including FMIC) and labour at TDi.

Jesus H ... that's crazy money for BPU

It varies an awful lot tbh. everyone has a different idea of the full bpu spec. Some say you 'need' afr, egt and boost gauges which could be £30 each or £150 each. some say you only need a boost gauge(not advisable) some fit a new fuel pump others don't. Different plugs etc etc. I've bought all secondhand(not fitted yet) and so far has cost less than £500 without the fuel pump but did include 1st and second decat, catback exhaust, sard sports cat, greddy fuel cut limiter, greddy egt and boost gauges, different plugs.

Its whatever you want to spend in my opinion. I would love a fmic but mainly for the looks. a good condition oem intercooler is more than sufficient for bpu. The fuel pump is again, a matter of opinion. they are getting on a bit now, but keep an eye on the afr and should be ok. For the cost it is advisable to change though.

And £4500 for bpu is truly staggering.......... but it does show that it could be anywhere between £500 and £5000

if it was complete stock then cost sound more reasonable but 4.5k is a lot of money

That is expensive

sorry but 4.5k is a hell of allot! minimum parts you need from stock would be around a grand, and then plus any labour.

you can save a lot of cost if you look in the sale thread and buy used parts as well.

The most basic things you need is a fuel pump, downpipe, bcc and boost controller. You should be able to get that for £500. Myself spent somewhat closer to £2,000 and I got almost all my parts used.

This is my BPU setup

HKS 4" Ti

Greddy 3 row

Apexi AVCR

RMM DP

Max Air Box Intake

Adjustable Cam Gears

I think another big cost factor is whether or not your SMIC is up to the job, and then whether you go for a new SMIC or a FMIC.

For BPU, the new Whifbitz cooler is ideal

You can get BPU by just taking your cats out and replacing them with some pipe. It won't last long though!

That does seem a lot unless you had other things done to the car like service & parts changed.

To the OP, what parts do you have in mind as price will vary.

Price this little lot up and you'll have your answer

1st Decat Pipe - Required

2nd Decat Pipe - Required

Resistor Ring - Required

Cat Back Exhaust - Required

Boost Gauge - Required

Fuel Cut Defender - Required

Spark Plugs - Cooler grade required

Intercooler - Depending on condition of stock SMIC

EGT/AFR Gauge - Optional but recommended

Gauge Pod - Optional

Boost Controller - Optional

Labour

so could be around 1000 then I am going to do the fitting myself

i spent 5k plus going full bpu a hks typr r intercooler is 1200 pound on its own

I think I paid around £2000 to have the following supplied and fitted...

The kit without the exhaust came to approximately £1200 inc VAT (May 2008)

Blitz Nurspec RX Exhaust

Greddy FMIC I wanted to type Greedy just to be annoying

Plugs

Boost Controller

Double decat

Walbro pump

FCD

Everything supplied and fitted by Whifbitz (except exhaust fitment)

On the Aristo, I did:

- custom full exhaust

- plugs

- boost controller

- FCD

Exhaust work and installation work was all cash-in-hand. Total spend ~£1k.

If you want to keep costs down have a look at whifbitz exhausts. They are around £200 cheaper than the branded ones.

i spent 5k plus going full bpu a hks typr r intercooler is 1200 pound on its own

So minus the intercooler that makes £3800 for bpu? what did you get for the money? what was the labour cost? Out of genuine interest, I must have bought 'cheap' parts tbh
