Has anyone had their RA turbo swapped around Vancouver? Or could recommend any shops in the area that could do it plus tune?

 

wa or bc? either way... take it down to English Racing in Camas WA.

 

BC. English Racing will be my choice of I can get all my parts together. Anyone have a number of what they spent on labour at any shop for the swap plus tune?

 

It's been a couple years since I had the swap done at English so i'm not sure if their prices have changed, but you can PM Aaron a.k.a JohnBradley on evoM and ask.

 

english told me $500 and a couple days to do my rad ite swap, prob pretty close to that for a X swap

i plan to do the swap myself and drive down

 

$500 is about right (regardless of turbo, it's the labor).
Make sure you use the OEM bolts and springs for the exhaust housing, many guys have had an issue with the "other" bolts backing out and shot flames (wiring harness fried).

 

Thinking about going the RAD lite route because if its just swapping the turbo maybe it can be done in a day and if anything ever goes wrong its easier to remove one piece than a bunch. Especially after everything is fresh and lubricated spent countless hours fighting rusty bolts so I think I'll leave the install to the pros.

 

english also charges 300 for a new tune.
