Hey guys,
I was quoted for the Greddy TT /w FMIC and gauges.... I was told that I would be getting these at wholesale since he will be sponsoring me in the upcoming Nopi show.... he quoted me 8200. Now that is with a 900 installation/tuning/ and a dyno i think. I am getting the Greddy TT /w FMIC ... egt gauge and boost gauge.. I am also getting the Greddy Turbo Timer.. the guages will also be from Greddy... Is this too much for a wholesale price... I was thinking that this would be a normal price. Please help, any and all info is welcome.. thanks ahead of time!

8200 is too much for a "wholesale price". The MSRP for the kit and I/C is about 8200 by it self, how ever anyone can buy it for just under 6000. Most places charge 1k to 2k for install. So 8200 is a fair price for what you described but I wouldn't get excited about it.

Good luck

P.S. Wrong section

 

it's about 1k for install, but the price includes the required gauges and a turbo timer... not sure if you were counting for those.. would it still be too much even if those were included?

 

Install of the turbo kits are at about 2k for a superior job.
Figure on 1k if you want some one just to empty the greddy box and bolt the stuff in.

7 eleven is the installation king!!! Sup Gary..

And he's right figure on the cost of the kit... going price is about 6k via internet sales.

Your gauges probably cost about 300. Install will be like 300 bucks depending on what you guy does on wiring installs.

So what's is that... now... 2k+6k+600. So 8600 is what I'm estimating.

so you are getting a 400 buck discount.

Not bad but could be better... If he's sponsoring you then the labor should be free... And the kit should be at cost.

Good luck with stuff.

my .02 those greddy gauges are more like 400 bucks. the 1k install and tuning is a deal but he should do it for free if your gonna wear his stickers. the deal on the kit is good to, try to negotiate it to about 7500 and that would be a steal

 

Labor should be on the sponsor , if he gave you cost on parts you'd be closer to $6k than $8k

Being that I am not an aggressive person, how would I go about bringing up that he isn't really charging me wholesale... and isn't really sponsoring... and how I found that out? I am affraid he may just say well tough, take it or leave it, or if worse case happens.. then raise the price.. any help.

 

If you're afraid to speak frankly with your tuner then RUN, don't walk, away. There are way too many things that can go wrong for you to not be able to tactfully question things.

It's hard to know whether it's a good deal or not without having an itemized quote. My reco is to ask for an itemized quote.

Excellent advice....I whole heartedly agree.

so even if i cut the labor off.. which would leave the price at 7200 that is still too much for a Greddy TT w/ FMIC, the required gauges, and a turbo timer.. all being from Greddy.. that is still not even close to a "wholesale" price for those?

btw thank you all again for helping me with this thus far

 

Nope....I'm pretty sure I could price all of that out on the internet and get the same deal, in fact it would probably be less.

Don't get caught up in the MSRP you always see, no one ever pays those prices, the manufacturer and resellers like to inflate that so it seems like you're getting a good deal.

I'm not sure what cost is on that kit, but I often times see small shops discounting Greddy stuff at 33% off of the retail prices...so figure they're getting a bit more than that off or they wouldn't be selling it.

--wes

 

33% off retail is what a small shop would get as their cost.

If a shop is selling at that, it would be a zero margin deal. Doubt you're seeing much of that, unless they are going to make it up on the backend with labor.

 

Here is a break-down of what I consider a low...but doable street pricing of the kit. This isnt "sponsor level" pricing..just really good pricing if you hunt around. So if someone really wants to sponsor you, they should give you like cost+5% or something...and free labor.


$5800 Greddy TT with FMIC
$1500 Installtion of Greddy kit with FMIC
Total for the BASIC kit: $7300

At this point..you can safely drive off and be done.

Here are the extras I would add
$75 Turbo Timer
$175 Greddy BOV Type S---or HKS---they all do the same thing
$100 Defi (or other quality mechanical boost guage)
$425 AEM Wideband A/F Guage
$500 Profec e-01 boost controller/eManage Programmer
$500 Installation of all of the above items
Total for EXTRAS: $1775

Base Kit: $7300
Extras: $1775
Grand Total: $9075

This assumes you have an exhuast already, and will run high flow cats or test pipes....you dont wanna run the stock exhuast system on the Greddy TT.

 

ive never been able to get 33% off but i can usually get at least 20-25% most stuff from my buddies shop which i think is a fine deal

 

I am getting the Greddy TT kit for 8200 and all is in included.. tell me if this is good for wholesale price with labor.. labor is 1100$:

Greddy TT /w FMIC,
Greddy E.G.T. Guage
Greddy Profec E-01 boost controller/data logger
Greddy BOV
Greddy Turbo Timer

Also the E-01 comes with a boost gauge correct? or atleast that is what the said so I only need to E.G.T. gauge?
