Labour costs?
 
How much would the labour costs be if a shop put together my turbo kit and everything needed? (with all my own parts turbo, intercooler, BOV etc)


i know all the prices and info on all the other stuff, but since i dont know much about install the stuff myself i wanted to know the labour charges.

Make some phone calls. I don't know where you live, but my guess would be $200-$300.

I bet it would be more than that. :-\ It's not that hard. If you can change your oil you should be able to install a turbo kit.

You need to give more info. What kind of setup? Do you want gauges installed? Do you have the piping etc? My estimate is if you were providing all the parts including piping and oil/coolant lines and show up with an hf/adapter plate setup. It would cover the cost of hooking it all up and welding the ic piping and downpipe. If they would be making a manifold for you, oil and coolant lines, and hooking up misc stuff like gauges and tt, boost controller my estimate would obviously be way too low. But anyway you should be able to do it yourself depending on what mani you are gonna use.

Nayab are you realy in Pakistan? we wouldn't know how much they charge over ther for labor. but a complete install, fabrication of charge pipes, down pipe, bov mount,waste gate dump tube, could run past $1000. here. i suggest buying a mig welder and doing it all yourself and the welder is going to cum in handy :Palot after you learn how to use it.

I would have to agree with that statement.
