just install it urself! it really is that easy! save ur money and install it urself! i can do a whole kit by myself in 10 hours! lol... not that hard to do!

maybe you two need to meet up, sounds like velella could install it for a reasonable cost for you....

yea.. but were like 2-3 hours apart.. and i could install it in 1 day with a buddy, or 2 days by myself! and tuning i can do but it depends on what u are tuning with! but i can do ur turbo install if needed! ;-)

thanks but i want a reputable shop to do it. i have friends who could probably do it, but i'm looking for some sort of guarantee if something gets messed up during the install, which an average person cannot give me. the install i might get someone to do, but tuning is key and i need someone who is REALLY familiar with MAPECU2 and tuning supras in general. thanks though! :)

A shop with a dyno and experience you are looking for a lot of money. Probably more than what the kit costs.

it depends on the shop entirely, but if they have a dyno you will be looking at a lot to install the kit. It's a good DIY kit, shops can do the tuning once you install it.... (another option)

It depends on your area, different areas of the country normally charge differently depending on the shop.

I drove my car 2Hrs(on a trailer :ugh2:) to get it tuned VS going to a place that's local. I'd rather pay more for a shop to tune my car than go to a local place with BAD rep!

I'd just call around if I were you and get a price from the shops near by, see what they will cover if something were to go bad in a month or a year. Each shops are different on what their "warranty" will cover, if they even cover anything at all.

yeh i agree. does anyone know the approximate install time of this kit (hours)? will it cost a lot at a shop because the kit requires fabrication? because a regular BL or SP kit i think only takes like 10 hours to install and at $100/hr thats only $1000, which is what i was expecting to pay and then maybe $750 for tuning? maybe i'm way off base with these numbers, but i don't know.

a shop that gaurentees turbo..... i need the number and i dont mean conservative tunes lol. anyways id choose an experienced person that has already installed these kits successfully over a shop. Nothing beats first hand expeirience especially with a custom kit like this.
