Default How much should a garage charge to fit the following mods?

Got a new turbo, 550cc injectors and a uprated fuel pump to be fitted, how much roughly should a garage charge to get these fitted and how long would a job like this take to fit, as i need the following fitted and just wanted to know what to expect to pay and how long it should take. Thanks

I take it your not including the remap in that then? which if you are would be around 800 quid (actually you NEED to remap it to get it to work properly).
The rest would depend on how much per hour the labour costs were.
Oh you never said what MY it was???

Its a MY00, I wanted to get everything fitted first before i take it to TSL and get the Tek3. I wanted to know how much it would cost so i dont go into my Tek3 budget.

I wouldnt have thought much over 8 hours labour for all the work, say at 50 quid per hour as an average rate... 400 quid give or take an hour or two.

Tony

PS, why dont you get it fitted at TSL???

Might get it all done by TSL, went there Saturday for the fuel pump and some crystal sidelights and was well impresed with them, spoke to Gavin i think, who was very helpful and friendly.

Phone around and get prices then, may get a good deal if all done in one place, say TSL. Especially if you bought the items there too!

Significant spend in 1 day I reckon...

When I did fuel pump, about an hour including making up the wiring connectors.
Injectors probably an hour, moving induction etc. out of way included.
Turbo - did mine in under 3 hours.
Depends how easy the up and down pipe bolts / nuts are to remove...

So look at at least 5 - 6 hours, at their hourly charge.

Got a new turbo (2.5-3 hours plus gaskets), 550cc injectors (manifold lifted for proper fitment 2 hours plus gaskets) and a uprated fuel pump (30 minutes) to be fitted, how much roughly should a garage charge to get these fitted and how long would a job like this take to fit, as i need the following fitted and just wanted to know what to expect to pay and how long it should take. Thanks

Looking at 5-6 hours....plus the remap on top

Found somewhere, Subaru Central down the road said he would charge me £30 for the injectors, £30 for the fuel pump and £60 for the turbo because he said the bolts could be a B45tard to get off. Then ill get either a Tek 3 from TSL or a Apexi Power FC if I can get in touch with Andy F.

Good result, let us know how they perform, at those prices he could have a queue waiting!

I did think that was quite cheap, so i didnt want to say that to him when i was there, had a few things fitted by them, i paid £20 to fit my downpipe for me, and i paid £400 for a paddle clutch supplied and fitted.
