I have a 02 Z28 A4 and bought the Phamspeed budget kit with FMIC and BOV, injectors, fuel pump and dual fans. How long should an average speed shop take to install the kit and don't forget the shop has to fabricate some of the parts (unsure which parts)?

Just trying to get an estimate of the costs involved.

Thanks!!

 

Installing the actual kit should take about 3 hrs if you take your time

Take off stock y-pipe
Take off fans
Tap for oil feed line
Tap for oil drain line
Install kit
Install fans

Other things to take care of:
Fabricate rest of dp- 1.5hr
Fabricate charge pipes- 2hr


So say about 8hrs. Should be able to do it in one day for sure

 

I think it will take a little longer than that, the average wrench turner should plan on a weekend, there are always little snags and problems that you run into.

 

Well, he's having it done at an experienced shop that has done turbo systems before. Shouldn't take a shop that long since they have all the tools and knowledge

 

Your first time doing it yourself i would say somewhere around 20 hours.

 

Kcfan is asking about hours for a speed shop, not a do-it-yourselfer... Nice kits, these phamspeeds!

 

Its prolly still damn close to 20 hours

 

oh i didn't notice the BUDGET kit parts. sorry i could begin to tell ya the hours

 

ive been working on my for a few weeks, the problem is that youll finsish a step and youll need to order parts and wait for to get them then installing and moving on to the next step, and order parts and so on. i have more than 20 hrs on my kit so far, but iam doing it myself.

 

is it required to remove the front of the car to install the kit? just wondering, that takes some time to take off, and put back on?

 

right, be he is asking about the budget kit. Any shop that is capable of installing these kits should have all little small things to make the kit complete.

 

LT1-7 i have a question,how do you go about tapping the oil pan?do you have to take off the oil pan to do it,cause im worried about metal shavings

 

when i tapped my pan i took it off... rather spend the extra time it took to take it off to be sure...some say you can dip the bit in greese and it will pull the shavings out,,,but i just took the pan of

and far as install time in how many hours....just take how every long you need dont plan to have it done by a certian time just take you time and god step by step and little by little! and label eveything
