Fitting Costs

Guys,

I visited a tuning garage yesterday in the south (seemed very reputable but not one that I've ever heard mentioned by fellow club members) and they quoted me a price of £1700 (just under) for the following kit to be fitted (labour and VAT only with a few parts apparently to help fit the stuff - oil and gaskets etc):

1. Injectors (already flow tested).

2. Aeromotive FPR and fitting earls.

3. Walbro 342.

4. double de-cat

5. safc-2

6. IK22's

7. BCC

8. Hybrid Stage 3 turbos

......................and the dyno session to sort things was included in the 1700 notes price tag.

I don't have much time or space for DIY jobs but I've done things like IC's, DSBC's, bodykit, engine polishing and maintenance etc but I've had the car for 30 months and just want it finished.

Do you think this is a fair price and what would you experts say that this should cost me. Cheers everyone:help:

Can I ask which garage that is mate? Seems like a good price to me

edit: no its not a good price lol I didn't read the thread properly seems a bit on the dear side TBH

Id say they seem to think theyve seen you coming! That labour charge is unreal!

Have a word with a few of the traders on here instead...

EDIT: ask them for a time breakdown for each job - I really cant believe that price!

I'd say that was too much,

For example, the cost of a second hand engine engine, full services parts, and labour on my FTO cost only just a tad more than that.

I couldn't believe it myself when he first gave me the estimate. I wouldn't care but all of the 8 items of kit that I've mentioned on my original thread have already been purchased and are sitting in my boot. If time was on my side, I would do the rest myself but the fuel stuff is something I don't want to play with. Could you imagine it in the next "Was It You" section of the Mkiv forum: Red Supra in a fireball on the M25!!!!!!

I'll drop the name of the company soon guys but its in Aldershot.........

Doesn't sound too bad since a dyno session was included too, remember taking the stock turbos off and then effectively putting them back again is a big job.

There's a fair amount of work time there, and as the others said the fuelling all needs setting up etc.

Not the kind of money I'd want to spend though unless it was top dog tuning co.

is his name slow dog

that's way to much, do most of it yourself and just pay a decent garage for the turbo swap perhaps?

Jake, You know your stuff m8:thumbs:

The actual estimate was:

Labour: £1050.

Dyno: £220

Parts: (£150) - i.e oil and gaskets

& VAT taking it up to £1670.00

That'll be Tuning Japanese then.

They used to be called SAS before....................... maybe a few forum searches can turn up some info.

Cheers Terry. I've had a quick look at previous threads in order to get a clear idea of what the company was/is about. I'll have a chat with Phoenix or Paul Whiffen to get my motor sorted. Thanks for your help mate! Andrew:thumbs:
