Cost to install turbo kit
I was wondering if you guys could look over these charges from a local shop to install a turbo kit and tell me if its about right or if its too high. Thanks
$680 - 8 Hours @ $85/hour -- Customer supplied turbo kit
$350 - Custom piping fabricated with all T-clamps and Silicone Couplers
$250 - Custom Oil Lines (feed and return)
$298 - Install of Wideband and 4 in 1 Gauges
$650 - 2 hours Dyno tune with Wideband acquisition (includes partial street tune to insure optimal driveability)

Only 2 that jump out is oil lines and wideband install. Only takes an hour to do each, so by their rate, thats $170 for both together not 250 and 298. Not even the fittings and hose cost anything to justify 250. And if 298 has the price of the wideband in it then its good.

Those prices are mostly reasonable. It really depends if the 'customer supplied turbo kit' is really a true mostly bolt-on type turbo system or just a bunch of pieces that have to be made to work on the tiburon. If its just a bunch of pieces the shop has to make work together then the 2200 usd price is pretty reasonable.
Most of our customers that come for turbo systems, if they have EVERYTHING its anywhere between 500-700. Pending on what you have already you actually might be getting a pretty good deal. You should list all of what you have.
