I've read the past threads on install times, but the range was incredible, so here's a specific question:

How long do you estimate the install with take with the following:

Experienced turbo installer (first time for this kit)
Installing the kit, intercooler, bov, turbo timer, and ignition harness (phase 1 of 3--heh,heh)
Access to lifts and air tools


I think that about covers the "givens."
Thank you in advance!

I professional mechanic with access to all the tools...if it's his first time....will likely take him about 40-60 hours to complete what you just described. It is really hard to estimate.

If this is a DIY job, my guess is about a full week...if you work on it everyday for 8-10hours.

 

It took me a full week to install it. I took off work for that week and worked on it 5-6 hours a day. I didn't have air tools and did it with jackstands in my garage. The air tools won't help much in the tight spaces. That's what takes the most time.

Daaaaayumm! Lucky for me . . . I think their labor rate is 45/hr. It's good to live in KY

 

thats cheap labor....CA labor rates are $75-$100/hour.

 

well i got my kit installed for $1750 but the mecanic wich he is a professoinal in custom turbo kits specialy on supras, it took 2 weeks to finish my kit but he didnt know it was goin to be that much time so he told me that next customer that comes in with a 350 or g35 it is goin to be more. it will take a professional about 40-60 hours of hard work.
