Was about 2hours to do it myself, specialist will probably be quicker.

Work it out based on local labour rates :P

Also depends on how you plumb them in, Ie Intercooler off and altenator off for oil temp & pressure as this will add a bit of time too

That was included in my 2hours

Soldering was 10mins, got all my feeds from the LCD clock.

Hardest part was getting the TMIC back on, I'll never get the hang of that!

a lot easier if you remove the right hand intercooler bracket, Just 2 bolts into the inlet manifold

I've heard/read that actually.

With any luck, the next time I remove my TMIC will be the day I fit a FMIC

It's not that difficult to do, the only specialist tools you need are a £1.99 circuit tester and a long 8m Allen key, about £7 for a decent one.

There are a few threads on here detailing the build, and we can advise.
