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.

JPR Imports
409 South Black Horse Pike
Blackwood, NJ 08012
(856) 227-1808

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!

Yes sir.. it is very impressive for a bolt on kit. I have zero complaints.

I'm working on it. I'm going to make a few phone calls tomorrow and see if I can track it down.

Well, according to my gauges, the max boost I saw was .51kPa.. which equals about 7psi. The average boost I saw was .45kPa which equals about 6.5psi. With those boost pressures and my NA dyno of 187whp I would speculate I'm currently around 250whp +/- 5whp. I'll know exact figures when I take it on the dyno in a week or so.

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

I'll try tomorrow.. I just don't want to do a crazy launch or drive insane with the roads as wet as they are.. last thing I need is my 8 wrapped around a tree..

What did you guys think of the gauge? Think it goes well with the dash cluster?

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.

What does Greddy say about turbo timers, or is this setup too mild for one?
