I was wondering what people have been quoted/charged for the installation of this ATI Procharger kit.

Yes, I already tried searching the forums. I did not find what I was looking for.

I hear that ATI recommends 8-10 hours for installation. That sounds quite a long time. I'd estimate it would be a good $800 in labor, right?

 

I would think more towards 1000... But I don't know. And then you have to tune it... From what I hear-turning takes a while too.

 

The kit doesn't come with engine management? Lovely. Last thing I want is Joe Schmoe tuning my car. Not really a "kit" then, if you have to go out and buy a Haltech too.

 

Well I don't know much about this particular kit, but I would assume that you would want to get it professionally tuned like some other kits for other cars.

 

You have the luxury of living on the coast where there are many such shops. I live in the midwest (Kansas City) where proper import tuning shops are not in abundance.

 

if the kit doesnt come with tuning youd be better off to build a kit yourself much cheaper. surely they offer some sort of engine management whether it comes with itor not.If it does id pay extra for theirs since they designed the kit

 

Well, as I said before... I don't know much about this kit, but I was looking at the supercharging thread with the engine problems, and some relate that to bad tuners.

 

It comes with a FMU. There is a well known tuner and installer in Kansas for this SC kit. Ive been quoted around 600 install, 250 for tuning in Houston.

 

Hell, the manufacturer of the Procharger kit is less than 1/2 hour away from you. I'm sure they know someone in the local area who can do it. They're in Lenexa,KS. For an experienced ATI installer, they can probably do it in around 8 hours. Shop rates range from $50-$80 an hour, figure 3-5 runs on a dyno.

 

You guys need to use the search feature in a big way. This has been covered over and over again. I think some are not bothering to post that know more about it because it has been discussed so much.
