Is this a good deal???
 
well, My buddies at the drop shop is doin all the pipings,manifold, wireing, down pipe.. for $700 insatlled. Is that a good deal? or is there any other way of gettin the charge pipes & down pipe done my self cheaper? I mean the shop is pros. when it comes to turbo setups, so $700 doesn't seem that bad. It's in good hands.

Jon does really good work with his stuff, but from what I know of him, doesn't really offer "friend prices" hehe, but the work you'll get done is very high quality.

but sounds about right for that kind od stuff.. is he making you a manifold too? is this all going to be stainless?

Yeah, I know it doesn't sound a like a friendly price, But I understand from his stand point, i mean other places charges much more than the drop shop. I mean this includes the down pipe,manifold,charge pipes, fmu install, oil, and an intercooler(not a front mount, but that's okay) etc. Imma try to get it for $600, but 700 is within my budget. I recomend everyone with low budget to get the turbo manifold from them, it's cheap good quality, better than payin 350 plus for one.

700 is a good deal man.... considering your getting the DP manifold IC and piiping its not that bad at all.. considering thats what you would spend on a new FMIC and piping kit alone from DRAG.

you live near the drop shop? i sorta do so let me know how it goes. and how much you pay for the manifold and DP alone (i have a b20 so it will be the same as your b18 assuming you have a ls)

$220? damn, he offered me one for $470, and I laughed at him!

thats good to know considering that i was gonna spend 200 or so on a used revhard/drag style (still think i want a t3 though even though this gives me the option)
