$1650 For A Wastegate Supplied And Fitted..?

[rami]

hi guys..

i was thinking of adding a external wastegate/screamer pipe to my car... so i got a quote off rigoli motorsport.. they quoted me $1650 supplied and fitted... does this sound right? and he rekoned it needed to get dyno tuned as well : : now im not a mechanic but is this overpriced.. or do i have to pinch myself n jump back into reality world....

i guess it depends on the wastegate, there are some on the market worth over $1000. but generally, that sounds quite expensive.

what turbo is this for?

[KamikazeR33]

$5 he says stock turbo

apexi fc hyflowed turbo and boosted 10 - 14 psi...

[R31Nismoid]

Keep your $1650

[rami]

keep my $1650 because i shouldntneed a wastegate.. or because its 2 expensive...

[hayden49]

What waste gate are you running at the moment?

your turbo isnt internally gated is it?

also what brand gate is it?

[R31Nismoid]

So what type of wastegate do you end up with?

[rami]

well for starters.. i dont think the guy who hiflowed my car put an aftermarket wastegate...

i bought it the way it is atm

so therefore i dont think its external etc ttc

and why do i want one..? cause i love the sound of em.. its not like my car desperately needs one asap or its gna blow up!

ive always wanted one.. and now that i have a r33 im gna get one..

so can anyone tell me more info on what sort of wastegate would suit me that wont blow out of precaution with $$$ as my turbo is only hiflowed its not some crash hot t66 that needs a 2g wastegate.. and anyone know who can do a good job fitting it.. around sydney

oh yeh and thanks for the peoples critisism.. it got me far..

ok, well with what ever turbo you have, obviously it was designed like it was for a reason so its prob best to keep it that way..

and you have to agree $1600+ is alot for a noise?

[rami]

ofcourse it is! i wouldnt bother puttin it on.. thats why i posted this topic.. asking is this a normal price for a bit of noise of a stock hiflowed turbo...

im guessing it is.. but is there cheaper options for it? if so what are they exatcly...and im talking about a smaller wastegate fitted without a dyno tune how much would it all cost me etc etc

youd be a dikhed paying 1600 for noise....
