QUESTION: Timing on stage 2 install!?

My dealership is quoting me 4.5 hours labor in stage 2, how long should this take? They estimated a 490$ plus tax canadian install.

no we got quoted 1.5 to 2 hours. if they will not do it, have them look it up at the parts counter and show you where it says 4 hours. because it doesn't.

I got quoted 3.5 hours.
Took it to my mechanic and he swapped the pulley and injectors for $80 cash and then had a dealer do the flash. The dealer charged $100 so the total out of pocket was $180 to install.

4.5 hours. Most dealers can do it faster, if they have done it before.

Sounds about right. Took me that long to replace my pulley and change my injectors. If it's uncharted territory for them it might take longer.
