Default How long should a turbo install take including new intake

Hey folks away to have a standard position gt30 installed on my newage STI*
I also have the 76mm intake to install. How many hours labour are we looking at?

I'm aware the inlet manifold has to come off*

all depends on getting the old one off. If you get a seized nut , or broken stud , it can turn out to be a whole world of "why did i try this myself" very quickly !

Good luck with that mate. You will need a grinder + even manifold spacers. I gave up when i was fitting the T that had the 76mm intake & just decided to get it converted to a 58mm. The 76mm was fouling big time & there was no way on earth a intake pipe would go on it.

Even with the 58mm i still had to file the gearbox down abit.

Agreed Manifold spacers help a great deal. 2-3 hours labour I'd of said
