Labor time estimate
 
Does anyone have an estimate of how many hours (by a professional installer) is involved for installing a EVT620 kit minus the exhaust, but plus a EVOMS plenum?
Thanks.

Just for future info for it all.

By themselves:
Muffler: 3-4 hours
Intercoolers: 4-5 hours to modify the mounts and install with silicone hoses (mufflers and intercoolers crossover, so if you are doing it all, maybe knock an hour or two off the combined total)
Headers: 1.5 hours
ECU tune: If your shop is actually going to charge for this, figure about a half hour to R&R the ECU.
Boost Valves: Maybe an hour

Oh, intake plenum. I would venture to guess about 2-3 hours.

Every shop is going to differ a little because there isn't really a set in stone book time for that stuff, but anything in this ballpark would be fair.

Thanks. this really helps with the budget plan. I'm now thinking about $1K for labor and $10K for the kit (minus exhaust but with plenum).

that all depends where you will go with it, is it a shop who does it or did it quit often you can save easily a couple hundred bucks versus going somewhere who first needs to figure out how to do the next steps.... I had tons of bad experiences with Porsche Dealers and shops, since than I do it all in house :-)
