I would say $50-100 more depending on the job. He's a real cool guy, I usually stick around and shoot the ****. Help him out, that way i can learn and it makes it easier for him.

I figured that was going to happen when I looked at his turbo placemnt saturday.

He needs to find an aluminum welder for the intake and the charge pipe is steel so any place can do that.

How much power would you unlock with a tune on a stock LSJ with a CAI? I'm selling my stage 2 kit but if the gains from a tune are enough ill go that route.

He is going to try and find a 6 x 2.5 in section of steel pipe and a 4 x 3 in section of aluminum pipe along with rubber couplers. This will get him by until he can have it welded up.

Tune only on stock I would say 10-15hp. The exhaust is really restrictive in sections so that will be the hold up at that point.

Good deal. So he will need more couplers from me? I am going to start charging.

Longer couplers? I believe the turbo is a 4" inlet and 2.5" outlet. Nick's intake is a 3" intake so he might want to see if he can get a 4" intake fabbed up for the car (even though that would require me to do a lot of retuning to even get the car to start because MAF skew would be at least +40% vs the 3" intake (cross sectional area of 4" pipe is 42% greater than cross sectional area of 3" pipe)
