It is and could so easily be more as if your charging by the hour like I've heard Birds may do and their costs were when printed fairly high but as was pointed out some of the pipes are a swine to do, once you see a few you get an idea what's what hence the price for N 54's from is the figure we've arrived at.

For garages like ourselves there's easier ways of earning the money, the thing for us is we are all enthusiastic about the cars we look after and when these sort of jobs turn up we just love to get at them cos their different and the end result gives us a kick which makes coming to work an doing the job we do that much more enjoyable.

Thanks for your pm mate.

Will have to think about this one.

Not sure if the cost is worth it. Not just the labour charges but the parts as well...

dude, you think about everything.

get a intercooler and release stage 1+ fmic.. monster power..

dp's help release a little more power but the main thing is to let the turbo spool quicker and let gas exit quicker= more response..

ETS fmic cost me £600 fitted and these dp's will cost me £500 which then allpws me to unlease stage 2 map.

cobb rated around 50% more bhp compare to stock if you use stage 2 aggressive map.

ummmmmm the intercooler option is next on my list re power if I want to up it a bit the DP's made a real difference to how the turbos spooled up the remap I had down really sealed the deal, looking forward to seeing your car in the flesh soon
