Greddy-turbo.Installation time and cost.

For those who have installed Greddy-turbo:

How many hours does it take to install it for a professional?
Hoe much does it cost to install it?
Can you install it without doing anything with the exhaust?

I started mine on a Sunday, and worked a few hours each evening in the garage. I was in no hurry, more interested in doing it well. I'd say, all things considered, it took me about 18 hours...but, as I said, I was in no hurry. If I was diligent instead of studying every little dang thing, I could probably cut 4 or 5 hours off of that.

Are you a pro or could I expect about 10 hours in a rotary garage?

Well it is a one day job I would say book time should be 8 - 10 hours.

Myself and Ray Wilson(PF Supercars) put my kit on in 6 hours.

No need to change the exhaust at all. The kit comes with a cast iron turbo manifold that hooks up perfectly to the catalytic converter pipe (part before the exhaust).

Well, they would have the advantage of a lift, air tools and extra hands when they needed them. Mine was all with hand tools on jackstands. I did use a dremel to cut the plastic around the intercooler...does that count as "power tools"?

I feel sorry for all the people that did it on jack stands.
