Question Twin turbo install price on Mach 1??

Ok I'm going to be installing a twin 57mm turbo kit on a guys 03-04 Mach 1.

I don't know the kit's brand but it comes with everything needed to do the install. I have looked at the kit and it's a very good set up. Comes with a QA1 K member, A arms, double adj. shocks even. I'm just wondering what would be a fait price to charge him for the install.

(how much you wou expect to pay)

sorry for the lack of info

$300. Why charge him if he is your buddy? Just do it for a case of beer.

a couple hundred and get him to help. that way he's getting something out of it too. and about 5 cases of beer because any install like that is going to bring frustration.

Don't want to speak for the OP, but how do you you guys know the OP and the "customer" are friends or even know each other?

If he's helping or another buddy of yours will be helping you out, imo why even charge him? However, if he isn't your buddy or just someone in general looking to have all that stuff installed onto his car then I think $30/hr should be a reasonable price imo.

Were not friends. Infact we use to hate eachother. I don't talk to the guy but he knows I have a shop and a lot of space to work on his car. I quoated him a price of $600 or 45 an hour. I also told him that the $600 would end up being cheaper.

Is this fair??

Yeah thats what I was thinking but since I'm not a "shop" yet then I couldn't charge him to much.. I'm going to school in June and when I get back in a year I plan on opening my own shop..

What can I say I'm a nice guy..... lol

O I failed to mention that the reason for his twins going on the car is just because I beat him when he first got his car and so he's been out to beat me.
Only thing is when I do get back from school I'll have enough money saved up for my big mods
