Twin Turboo Installation.. How Much..!

[ChakGTR]

Been trying to find the answer in the archive but can't so i gotta ask..... I have a R32 GTR and have a Trust 517Z turbo kit to go on.. Been lookin for someone in melbs to put it on and everyone is chargin around $1000.. I thought this would of been an easy bolt on job, does that amount sound right to you guys...????? Anyone know anyone that does it cheaper..???? Help much appreciated..

for stock turbochargers it's about 8 hours of work to do a turbo swap, so expect similar with a bolt-on kit, being that it will require mounting mods, etc, so 8 hours by $90 for hourly rate and most mechanics shops will be close to $900 when they include anything you miss, or run into problems...

Might find cheap, and it might work out, but then again, they might mis-quote and try to charge more.

Advice, get your quote in writting, so they can not renig on the value and charge more.

Can't believe mechanics get so much... $90 an Hr WTF...!!! Thats more than a friggin doctor..

There specialist mechanics

Been to a specialist doctor recently? Or a private one?

1hour ~ $120 for doctor

1hour ~ $200-300+ on initial appointment with a specalist. lol

Seriously, its not a quick job, and its expensive, I want to upgrade my turbo's but after you do don't forget to factor in the re-tune!

Mechanics charge alot because there's alot of expense too...how many mechanics do you know of who are rolling in it?

You could always take it to some dodgy brothers mechanic and get them to do it, but just like a dodgy doctor you might find there are tools left inside after he has finished.

you get what you pay for in most cases with this... better to pay a few hundred extra for the peice of mind. rather then thinking u got a bargain and end up having damages that'll cost you more then getting it done properly in the first place

Hmmmmm i wonder if i could install these myself.... Alot of ppl seem to think it's pretty easy ???

$1000 is too much.

Sure GTR turbos are hard to change and there are some known issues (i.e such as bolts snapping= headache.) It isn't easy.

Shop around.

Say you got the number from Ali.
