Hours to install Phamspeed budget kit?
Hours to install Phamspeed budget kit? 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
