If it's the usual compliment of Boost, oil pressure and oil temp located on top of the dash in a pod, then I believe a 2-4 hours labour would be much more like it!
13 seems very excessive!!!!

Took me a full day to do my three, BUT: there was lots of thinking and checking time, plus plenty off coffee breaks.
About 8 hours in all, but only about 3-4 if you know what you are doing and just work at it.

**** me You could take up a college course in re-wiring and mechanics and do it quicker than that Shouldnt take a compitent garage any more than 2.5hrs to fit 3 gauges,unless problems occur.

When I bought my car I got a receipt for the purchase and fitting of 3 prosport stepper gauges in with the service history, it didnt outline the cost of purchase and labour, but I think the gauges are around 50 quid'ish each... and the invoice total was £450!!!

If you were only charged £5 per hour then the 13 hours isn't too bad
I fitted a set of Defi's to my old car in about an hour and half using a sandwich plate for the oil temp and pressure.
Wiring couldn't be easier,all can be connected to the radio wiring harness if you know what does what, 2 minutes on the web sorted that out.

I once fitted my own gauges with some mates. It took us nearly 9 hours
I think the problem was that only one of us was mechanically minded, the other was electrically adept and then there was me

The trouble with these sorts of threads is they lack one thing.. The other side of the story!
