  • Tiago's turbo kit?

    I know there's a ton of people planning on buying the kit. And i'm sure there's a few that have all ready sent money (including myself). The question is for those that are getting it installed, not doing it themselves. As anyone gotten any estimates? Mine was $1100. It's from a place that everone seems to trust.

    its a direct bolt on....DO NOT pay near that much to have t installed....id only pay like 200 or so.....just do it yourself it isnt that hard.....we will walk you through it on here if u have questions. put that money towards somthing else instead of a install fee.

      I don't really have any tools, what kind of tools would I need. I'd love to do it myself, just don't want to mess anything up.

          Only part that worries me is tapping the oil pan. How difficult is this?

              I'm pretty good with my hands. Like I said in the above post, "I don't have any tooks" I'll prob pay over $300 just in tools. It means a lot to me to have this turbo kit. And my cars my life. If anyone could ask my friends, I treat it like it's my child. I'd hang myself if I screwed something up, or hurt the car.

                get my name right dammit [img]tongue.gif[/img]

                That is kinda high for an install.

                about $500 would be more fair, but most people Ive talked to said they were quoted inthe $1000s

                Shane, It maybe "bolt on" like other fbody kits are also "bolt on" but there is alwyas things here and there that need adjustment. PLus most shops charge $50 an hr and the first time someone isntall this it may take them 8 hrs. Thats $400 already....

                  My suggestion is this, if your willing to spend 1000 on an install then take the 1000 and buy a **** load of nice tools [img]smile.gif[/img] :D

                      how about you pay someone from the board that has already installed it before to do it for you. Make sure they have done a good job and you trust them. Like for instance if I lived in Texas I would pay Tiago to do it, I am sure he would hook you up cheap.

                          Being a gearhead is not a requirement for being a car enthusiast... it just helps ;)

                            If she's sick, I take her to a place to get better. I was thinking about having someone on the board to do it, but i'm all the way in chicago. I don't think there's anyone close to my are to do it.

                              Wish I could help you since I'm in Rockford. I am getting the kit and installing it myself. Only problem is between the wife, kids, job and car, I don't have the time.
