GT2871 I believe. It was supplied by the shop whos doing the tuning/motor build.

Are you referring to the throttle body or the intake manifold as far as pricing?

After all is said and done I believe his invoice on fabricated parts is around  $5k  Thats turbo manifold, intake manifold, intercooler, intercooler coolant tank, intake pipe, fuel rail, intercooler piping, couplers, tbolts, downpipe, full exhaust all the way back with a muffler and 2 resonators.

Labor for???? That pricing is out the door for all my parts custom fabbed on the car.  Labor for motor building/swapping, tuning, suspension work etc etc will be additional from the other shop thats working on it. Its going to be an large bill for the total build but every suspension piece will be done, the motor will be bulletproof and powerfull and he wont need to do anything else besides drive it and if desired further turn up the boost.

A typical turbo manifold, off the shelf air/air ic, custom piping, dp, exhaust usually costs in hardware ~$3500.....this car pretty much has everything so its substantially more.

sorry i keep forgetting that you are providing the parts.

out of curiousity, do you guys install stuff? how much would that cost in labor if so. im asking because i may decide to go f/i in the future, and im definitely not experienced enough to tackle something that big.

We dont do full drivin in/drive out installs at the shop. I work closely with another local shop who primarily does tuning but installs as well. If you were interested to see what a complete package would cost, contact http://www.eplabs.net and ask what your pricing options would be for engine management, tuning, and installtion ancillary items such as oil lines to go with our fabricated parts. If its something you'd like to persue we can go from there. :cool:

Just curious as to why the owner decided to go with the liquid intercooler?

Customer wants no visible signs that the car is turbocharged. Core will support more than the motor will make.

I was working on the cosmoline on my engine today and came up with a question.  What do you do with the box that the spark wires come from when you turbo an M42?

Possibly relocate it?
