Oh yeah.. I remember someone asking me what my mechanic would charge for the GReddy Turbo kit install. I kind of got a special deal.. but he is offering this price to the forum members
$950 installed. I know Acousta Racing up in northern NJ is charging like $1250'ish. The install takes a while. Both Jim and I had about 16 hours worth of labor with 2 people working on it. If you don't want to search this thread.. Here is the contact info for his shop again.

I remember reading somewhere that some forum vendor was going to charge like $550 for the install, I think they are on crack.. it's just way too much labor to be charging that low of a rate.
Sleep? I slept like a baby last night for the first time since I ordered the kit from Mazdatrix last Weds.

not too bad a price i think i'll have to maybe drive up to NJ when i get my kit (hopfully spring break cross your fingers for me
)...i checked a few places down here and it was liek 1500 to install it, barring any unforseen problems. Damn rich people in NOVA driving up the cost of everythign b/c they all make way more money than i do
....oh wait i'm an unemployed student:p

Daaaamn. I am JEALOUS as hell. :D But I'm also impressed with the quality of this kit - and the relative ease of installation. Sounds like Greddy did it up right, and at a "reasonable" price to boot!
We definitely need to get that eManage password cracked, or provided to us somehow. Those of us at high elevations may have problems otherwise.
So Jon, I don't suppose you plan on taking your car to a drag strip to quantify how much more of a "bat outta hell" it is now? Or at least maybe GTech it? Dyno numbers are greatly anticipated, but I'd love to know just what +60 WHP can do for the '8s time.
Regardless, awesome thread, and awesome job on all of this!

**EDIT** those kPa numbers should be multiplied by 100. **EDIT**

More, more, more, more, more.....must have more. Need video in motion. What exhaust are you running?
BTW the boost gauge is perfect, if a little expensive.

I dig the gauge a lot. Unfortunately, I don't leave my dash back lights on full white all the time, so I think it would bug me (whether I had the red or the white). So, I'm gonna go with the regular Link Meter gauges, instead of the BF series. But, it still looks badass, bro.
