Hey guys,

Just as a reference I wanted to post the quote I just got for parts labor and tuning. I will keep their name out of it as I don't want judgements on who it is. I think that this is a very high estimate and just wanted others thoughts. It doesn't matter because I've decided to go a different way with the car.

Green Turbo- 1399
Big 34MM internal WG - 55
Gasket UP to Turbo - 13.48
Gasket Manifold to UP 13.48
Gasket Turno to DP 20.55
Labor 1.5 hours 165

Perrin UP 199
Perin Equal Header 699
Outside labor Heat Coating 350
Labor 1.5 hours 165
Gasket Ext man to Head 31.04

APS DR525 FMIC 1295
Labor 6 hours 660

Deatschwerks side inectors 740cc
Labor 1.5 hours 165

APS 3" inlet 249
Labor hours 3.5 249

APS CAI 70mm Big Maf 299
labor 1 hour 110

Walbro Fuel Pump 100
labor 1 hour 110

Protune with AP on 91 499
Racegas tune 200
Materials used in install 41

For a grand total of 7,724.53 before tax, leaving tax off so people don't know the state and thus, the shop.

$110/hr Is Steep

I would think $80-90/hour reasonable

[wrxcelration]

Some of the parts prices are quite high and the labor is pretty high too(75-90 is avg). You could either piece this together yourself cheaper or talk to some of the vendors on here and see if you can do combo deals

[bluedemon_II]

All the parts you posted there have How to's on this page so you can save a big if you install them yourself. And Btw 6 Hours to install a FMIC? Wth? We did the perrin install on a Wrx wagon in under 2 hours

On the other side they are charging you way up market labor price.

[twiSTies]

thanks for the laugh

[funSTi]

Thats a little crazy for a simple FP Green setup. Around 8 grand, well if it were me I would just go rotated if your looking to spend that kind of money.

[slorob]

Find a buddy who knows a little about cars buy him a case of beer and save all that labor.

[fractur3]

jesus i built my motor, bought an ur gt35r kit, made a custom fmic and reversed the intake mani for less then this.. with labor and install.. you just have to know where to look, keep looking imho

[jermdeez]

All depends how good of work they do. FMIC is not something you want to go cheap on or ull end up with a hacked up front bumper

[Subysoli]

Lol, this thread exploded overnight. No, I'm not going to be having them do anything. They do quality work, I've had other things installed by them; however, I plan on installing this myself. I've got a couple of buddies that work on american cars and one works at a dodge dealership so that means lift access.

Besides, I'm going a different direction because I can get the parts for a lot more power a lot cheaper. GT52 and Hydra

[2slow2curious]

Bend over and give me 3 big coughs.

[Wrxified]

Does the FMIC really take 6 hours to install? That's insane. Doesn't seem that difficult.

[Siegel Racing]

The real issue here is that they didn't combined the labor on ANYTHING... If you are doing an inlet you have to put some type of intake on, it doesn't take any longer to put a big maf on than anything else...

Make sure they have done a number of other similar setups... I would take issue with some of the suggested parts, but that's another story...
