jokergerm · 07-10-2012, 02:40 PM

I am going to get RB turbos installed next month and i was quoted 1k from my shop with tax

Is this a good deal?

what are others paying

Sounds fair. May be cheaper if you're providing all the parts, but thats in the ballpark.

I was quoted 900 so that sounds about right.

Anywhere in the 900 to 1500 range is not outrageous. It takes someone with experience between 8-10 hours of methodical work to complete with all the right tools and environment.

BMW book time for turbo replacement is 15.7 hours.

It's definitely a good deal at $1000 for what may be a 10 hour job as long as you know the installer has a good rep and has done some installs before (whether RB or stock).

Is that labor only or with included parts? Parts, oil, coolant, filter etc run upwards of 250, and that's skimping on installation parts.

If its 1k with parts amazing deal. If 1k labor only, it's a fair reasonable price.
