Thumbs up how long to install a turbo kit?
hey guys, I was just wondering how long will it takes to install a turbo kit (50 trim), because where I want to install it they charge per hour so I just want it to know what a fair price will be.

If your at all mechanically inclined, I would say do it yourself. Good learning experience and, well, you did it yourself, little boost in pride. Plus, its fun.

If you do decide to install yourself make sure you have all the tools in the garage so you dont get stuck halfway through. Also a 12 pack of beer and large pizza helps when you get pissed off and need a break.

It should not take you more than an hour to pull the stock one off. About another hour and a half to put on the fifty trim. That's what it took me.

4-6 hours depending on the kit and if you pre-assemble most of it beforehand. I have done mine a few times on and off and I can knock it out in around 2-3 hours.
