Default How much should I expect to pay?

I need to get some things welded up so that I can finish my turbo kit and this is the missing link. I'm waiting on parts to arrive tommorrow and then I'm off to have it all welded together. Here's what I need done:
SS Manifold tapped for external wastegate and 44mm wastegate flange welded on
GReddy Type S BOV Flange welded to aluminum I/C Pipe
3-4 inch adapter welded to first 4 inch downpipe piece (1 bead)
2nd 4 inch downpipe piece welded to the 1st piece (1 bead)
4 inch to 3 inch welded to 2nd piece of downpipe (1 bead)
3 inch exhaust flange welded on the end (1 bead)
ATP Turbo Elbow cut 1 inch shorter and rewelded (1 bead)

This will all be TIG welded, I was quoted less than a $100 from a friend of my stepdad (2 hrs work, $80 plus tax) and I was going to take it to another friend's shop this week as long as I get all my parts in.

Anyone that works at a machine/welding shop, tell me what you think

sounds like you are getting a good deal, assuming he has good equipment and can use it well.
