Default Whats a fair price to charge for Turbo kit install ?

What you guys think is a fair price to charge to do a Drag Type set up . fmu, inline , etc.
The thing about the install thats gonna be the bitch is the front bumper is molded to the fenders, so intercooler mounting will take a while and will need to be creative.
Let me know what people normally pay for installs so i can base a fair rate, i dont wanna rip anyone off, but i dont wanna screw myself in return either. Thanks.

I suppose different areas call for different pricing, but at least in S. Florida, $500 is a pretty good price for a complete install.

In this game, you can name your price since it's going to be a custom job. BUT, to make it more reasonable, you can go by the standard labor rate of $60/hr.

Although, it would be interesting to see you fit that FMIC under the "one piece" front bumper. heh heh

Intercooler sounds tricky, but the rest will be a breeze. $500 would be a fair price IMO

$500 is cheap. especially if its a good shop doing a quality install with a warrenty on the labor.
