If the shop quoted u around 7k for install and tune then you need another shop cuz that place is robbing you.

Agreed. I paid way less than that and I have a TT kit which required the motor to be dropped.

I should clarify that it was install quoted at 16 hours, along with another system that was described as a very good idea. I know the shop has great ties with BP so that's why I contacted them, but when I saw almost 7K I about pooped myself. I was expecting around 1200 bucks for install and keep the whole project under 10k.

I should note that I'm not just blasting the shop either, I mentioned to him that this was much higher than I expected so I wouldn't be able to pursue my dream just yet.

That's a terrible price. Find another shop or DIY. 7k for 16 hours is over $400 per hour. **** that guy and his whole family.

Absolutely. For $7k they should be supplying the remainder of your required mods and handle the install.

Bro.... Id pack up my tools, take off work for a week, drive up there, install your kit, drive it to a tuner and get it tuned for you for half of that asking price lol.

But seriously, if you can change your oil and your spark plugs, you can install this with basic tools. Grab a buddy who is more mechanically inclined if need be and knock this out. You will learn about the components and the car which is a good thing just in case you have any issues later. You will then have an understanding of the system and could possibly avoid a costly trip to a shop.

That's the other issue.. Here in Indiana i can't seem to find a tuner close so even after install I'll have to rely on the supplied map until I can get time to trailer it to a tuner.

I change my oil, plugs, brakes, my G3s and anything else really. I suppose my biggest fear is the subtle issues with oil lines and such that worry me. Sounds like I shluld just pony up and do it, I guess it looks like a few of you would totally be around to help if I have questions!

All I know is that I have read the BP 1 tread like 2.5x. The kit is just ingenious. I then waited and waited for Shasha to build the kit again. I was finally able to save the $$ for the kit but I missed the opportunity for the 2nd batch. A few months later v2 came out and I jumped on it. All I'm going to say is that Shasha is building this kit now and has some kits with no name on them. If you miss this round, you might have to wait a long time.

I'm thinking of doing a simple recoding of the install when I start wrenching. If it's as easy as everyone says it is (i think it is), the video will be simple.

I'm going to install different parts in different stages and times. I plan to do the trans and diff together. Next install is the turbo kit, then the Rad once it gets hotter.

You need to do the radiator before or at the same time with the turbo install. You do not want to have to pull all your Ic piping, intercooler and oil cooler just to get to the radiator. It'll never be easier than when its stock. Plus you have to evacuate the AC so doing that when its cooler is wise since you could run around a few days with having it recharged.

I was planning to do it before but was going to see what temps I get prior to the CSF. I'm doing everything myself so I'm not worried about any shop labor.

I totally forgot about the oil cooler though. DOH!.. That can be a little messy. We will see.

Jwick, don't you sleep man?

Trust me you don't want to pull the intercooler if you don't have too. You definitely don't want to have to remove the oil cooler later one. You have a Z in Houston were temperature are above 90deg half the year. You need the radiator upgrade. Just add it to the list pre-turbo. Chuck and I did it in the garage and it took a little more than half a day. Much less if I had know the heat gun trick for the silicon hoses.

I sleep but my body has typically only needed about 6hrs a night.

I read your install thread and I realize that you did it over several weeks, but overall how many hours would you say it took you and your buddy ?

That lift sure looks like it made life easier too. I'll have to do mine on a set of jacks in the good ole garage.. pending the warden lets me park her car outside for a week or so.
