PSA: Are you about to buy a new turbo? You should wait.

[Mason]

I’ll price it out once this kit is released @zrk

so far there isn’t even any information about this new custom air box and inlet pipe

Shop time is rated in hours for this kind of project, not parts. If

When you install the turbo, you have to remove the airbox, downpipe, intake pipe, and chargepipe. All that shit has to come off. Then they have to put it all back. Like I said, URW won't charge you any different. Most shops won't. It's not more work, they're just putting on different pipes when they put it back together.

The labor for installing a turbo includes removing the airbox for example, you can't even get to the turbo without doing that. You can't remove the turbo without removing the charge pipe that's attached to it.

Truth. Turbo kit installs are usually billed as a single job inclusive of whatever parts need to go on, or billed at shop time. If the shop is trying to bill you for each piece, you really need to go somewhere else.

I was just going to reply the same. Shops charge for time, not parts. @Mason is local to me, @Thraxbert, so I know this to be the case.

I think its funny that this turbo kit is cheaper than some of the exhaust system manufacturers. I'm not saying anything bad about this kit just think it's funny you can get a turbo, exhaust manifold, Intake, and exhaust for the same price or cheaper as a titanium exhaust. Yes I know titanium is more expensive.

Remnant Performance is destroying the Supra tax! I love it! I guess while we are talking about it, whats the “average” labor cost for a turbo swap?

I cannot wait for the 6 port version to kit the market! If you ask me I think they have more to sell with the 6 port market since we are just getting ecu unlocks

Not just that, but 2 port is in one year of the supra.

A grand is too much, but just by a little bit. That’s major city prices.

Glad I grew up wrenching on cars.. I can't imagine paying someone else for such a basic install

Competition is good. It always irked me a little that Pure refused to offer the Supra community the Stage 1 turbo upgrade that BMW B58 cars get. It was an intermediate step compared to the 800 but it was $1195. Instead, we get shuffled into the option that costs more than twice as much. It’s good that we now will have more options.

After what labor? Both are direct bolt-on and require removal of the same components for installation. In terms of labor, it's the same job.

Labor...??

Labor...??

I like wrenching on cars too. I do what I can, but living in a city with no garage makes some projects a little tricky.

 

[Mason]

Labor...??

I do basic stuff myself. My time is more valuable than what I’d have to pay a shop. If it’s just labor costs then that’s a smoking deal. I’ve only ever gotten stuff done from dealerships, and labor alone was never the case. Thanks for the info @zrk

At this price point, can we really have high expectations?

 

[MisoSup]

This sounds awesome. I have a 6 port but my 21 is tunable. I may have to jump on this. The wife is gonna kill me! Haha
