Prices quoted will be for a full set of 6, including wrist pins and piston rings.
Shop charges to install the pistons is a difficult conversation to have quickly. It is rather uncommon to install just a set of pistons. Changing pistons requires going as deep as you can into the engine, and removing literally every last component. Once this far, it is typical to do a full build-up on the engine, and upgrade every other known weak-link.
An engine build for a VQ probably costs consumers anywhere from $4,000 - $8,000 by the time it is all done. Possibly even more in many cases. Or a lot more if a turbo system and accessories are on the same invoice.
