I bought a pair of K24s from a fellow 6speeder and was planning on having Pacific Porsche do the swap for me.

The shop foreman said it would be 15- 20 hrs of labor!

Furthermore, he said unless the cams were changed, that the K24s would only produce about 25 more HP.

Does this make sense to anyone? All the reseach and reading I've done makes it seem like a pretty straight forward switch. Never heard that about the cam shafts needing work also.

I was planning on re-flashing the ECU afterwards- already have exhaust, evo wastegates and DV's.

Thoughts Gentlemen?

 

15 hours for just a turbo swap? That sounds like they're trying to rip you off.

Once you've removed the bumper and dropped the exhaust, they're pretty well exposed. 5-7 hours tops for someone who knows what they're doing.

I'm also pretty sure the cam thing is BS. I'd find another shop.

 

My good man. Take it to Dan or Sam @ Speed Gallery in Studio City. Dan probably knows more about turbos in his sleep than most dealer techs do ever.

 

sounds like a rip off... I would stay away from that place.

 

Yeah you will pick up more than 25hp.. Not sure wtf that guy is smoking. Labor should only be 5-7hours max.

 

I'd have to agree with the others. Walk away from that

 

Bring me the car.

 

exactly take it to speed gallery .... that kinda pisses me of that those bastards are trying to rip you off !!! that guy is clueless !!!

 

That's crazy talk! They just bolt right on, heck, I'll do it in 10 hours and I've never done them before.

 

LOL, changing the cams???! WTF

 

what numbers can you push outta the k24's? i was thinking about making the swap soon.

 

pacific? nice techs but seem to go by the book. they had problems diagnosing some simple issues on my turbo which I eventually handled myself after getting the royal run around and wasted time.

 

When you get it up and running with the k24's.....if you want to try a FVD 540hp Stage 3 Ecu, let me know.....I have an extra one for sale......
