S252 build question

Finally decided to go with the zzp s252et turbo kit. What Im wondering is how much should the labour cost on this install plus a dyno tune? Ill give you guys the list of parts Im ordering:

ZZp turbo kit
s252et turbo
80#s injectors
boost contoller
race tune with core
q bov
Excedy stage 3 clutch
front and rear tranny mounts
engine mounts
boost gauge
oil pres. guage
o2 guage
hahn exhaust


so far the total is around 8000$

Im taking my car into lightspeed inovations but if his quote is way off Ill probly go to a local mechanic I know and just use lightspeeds dyno.

Let me know what you guys think!

Sounds like a good idea. A better idea would be to bring the car to ZZP!

Stuff is just soo damn expensive now a days...

Your looking at 3700 just for the install of the kit....

Grab a couple of "good" friends that know a little and do a dyi'er on the weekend

Probably a decent amount of work, but who can't take bolts off and put them back on

It would save you a hell of a lot

Agree w/ supercharged guy. Def. worth doing it yourself or with some capable friends. Even if it took you week a rental would only be like 500 bucks...

Looks like ZZP charges only $1000 to install their turbo kit + FMIC.
