$800-1300 depending on where you are. The flash is part of the regular kit, not the "tuner" kit which is no injectors, pump or flash. The regular kit even comes with a nice pre-paid box to send it in overnight. No clue in Fl...

Most shops charge 85-100 hr. TN says it only takes 8-10 hours, but most tuner shops would disagree whole-heartedly. Gauges avg. 150 each. And you need a few, boost, egt, a/f (preferrably aem uego). You will eventually need a good clutch/flywheel as well those go from $300-500. So to wrap up, if you are lucky, 1600 w/o clutch/flywheel, 1900 w/ clutch/flywheel

Turbo install+guage install about 15 hours worth of actual work. We took our time, didnt rush anything and made sure we did everything right. Most shops wil tell you 12 hours for just the kit. You have to specify if you want the tuner kit, if not you'll likely get the regular catless version of the kit that comes with the injectors, ecu and fuel pump. I have a JWT clutch/fw, it will hold 450whp proven and is a very affordable set-up compared to some of the $hit out there.
