johnny g Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 It depends on what's got to be done, you're talking £1500-£3000 depending on what's being done and the state of current parts in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 How much is the going rate to setup and fit the single turbo. Just so the OP no's what kind of labour he is looking at, not the mapping tho. you should factor 2k for fitting and mapping including a clutch and fuelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_have Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I spent £30k doing mine, loved every moment but lost the love when finished and sold for £13k. There's some bargains out there right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian C Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I'm sure Homer once posted up a big list of all the twiddly bits that you need which really mount up. It also kinda depends on where you draw the line as well, people talk about sticky tyres and upgrading the brakes, but personally I wouldn't include them in the actual single turbo build budget. I'm not saying they aren't a good idea, but if you're running a soop you should have those already I'd only include the necessary-for-it-to-function stuff, like ECU, fuel system, exhaust stuff, intercooler pipework, wastegate etc., the fitting, fabrication, and subsequent mapping as well. And a clutch if you use one and it isn't man enough for the power. My experience of all this dates back probably too many years now to be wholly relevant, but I got some parts 2nd hand or at mates' rates, I already had some stuff, did the fitting myself bar the clutch, and even mapped it. And it still cost me about £10k The fuel system was rather overblown in the end, could have saves a couple of hundred there, but otherwise everything I did was necessary.

Ian C Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I must add, though, over the years the correlation between: "pffft you lot dont no nuffin u can fit a single for 2 grand just dont get all hks branded stuff u brand hores lololol" and a few months later: "got a nasty noise from the engine wats wrong?" Is statistically significant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
