Tiago's turbo kit?

[Seth]

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.

[Shane]

ummm......sockets, wrenches, screwdrivers, floor jack, jack stands, ect.

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

[ReodDai]

Drill hole... thread(tap) hole... screw in fitting...

[Seth]

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.
