I was quoted 350 but I did it myself instead so I would know where everything is and what it does.....

i was told 10 hours at 45 an hour.. so 450.

i ended up doing mine with some friends. was a lot more fun

HOnestly you should make every attempt to do it yourself, you don;t really need any special tools and the experience will educate you greatly on what you now have on your car and how to troubleshoot problems....

Alright thanks alot for all the help guys i will prolly end up doin it myself or doing with the guys who install it thanks again

yeah... it's not that hard to do it your self, just make sure to have everything you need ready, so you don't have to run to the autoparts store, also read the instructions and study your installation before removing any bolt, this will give an exact idea of what you'll do, and you'll do it easier than you think...!

I was quoted "600 or so" and ended up being charged 850, and yes I am still pissed

I was quoted $750 for a full install, ended up doing 90% of it myself (by the way if you're gonna install star turbo yourself make sure you have the socket needed to remove the oil pressure switch cause that's what got me). I took it to a shop to finish the rest and they said $200 for the regulator, pump, oil feed line & gauge hook-ups but ended up chargnig me $400 cause they couldn't get the shit to work right and had to custom a lot of things (luckily I had already place a gauge where my cigarette lighter was so they put the boost gauge there.
