price seems about right if it comes with a tune....which in my opinion is the true beauty of hiring an installer in the first place.

If you figure 100$ an hour they are quoting 18-20 hrs...either their prices are way to high per hour or they are not familiar with installing a turbonetics kit. I was under the impression some of the shops on this forum could accomplish this install in around 8 or so hours.

it definitely takes longer than 8 hours. we charge around 1500 to install it and 500-600 on the tune depending on what they are looking for...

What keeps you from making the drive? It is definetly worth the trip to the Performance Factory.

You drop the car off for 3 days and head to Universal & Disney and have yourself a vacation. When you head back to the PF your car has some maw powa.

If you get the full Turbonetics kit then you won't need a tune. It comes with a ECU reflash.

Take I-95 north with a big smile on your face. You can't go wrong.
