terribleturner Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Do it yourself and it'll just cost a couple of hours of your time. Actually took me longer to get thee bumper off than it did to fit the fmic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terribleturner Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Well i had a whole day to do it in on my own and it took a few hours. The bumper was really the biggest pain, but if you look in the repair manual it should point out where abouts all the bolts are. Probably took an hour + to get off and 15 mins to put back. And that was all by myself, and it started pissing down while i was doing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Provided you got the full kit which includes the smaller expansion tank and the re-routed PAS cooling lines its a pretty straight-forward job to do. I've removed and refitted it since and it only took a couple of hours in total. I was charged £280 by Max-GT to fit a Greddy 3-row & FPR, which in retrospect was a rip-off.

Fox Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 this may help you out a bit. Im left my supra into a garage toget the intercooler installed ended up fitting it my self and then the garage had the cheek to charge me £180. for the hire of there garage.......... http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/greddy_fmic_manual/index.html it's not too bad!! took me 4 hours, but I did not have a right hand screwdriver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprattgaz Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Also did it myself - deffo check out where the bolts are first to take off the bumper or it will be a pain in the bot bot!! Pit or lifting front helps too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
