Default Turbo installation

I live in richmond va
Where can I install my inlinepro stage 1 for cheap and tune
Of course also reliably
I have been to couple shops but they are asking about 1500 for installation and 600 for tune
Is there anywhere better ? Dc area is also fine

A turbo install and tune is not the time to skimp.

Save your money for a quality job or sell the turbo.

Otherwise you may be purchasing a new motor soon.

I am just wondering if 1500 for installation is reasonable cause I have heard many people done it around 1000 I just think the price for the labor is ridiculous and I was wondering if anyone around my area can offer me good place I can go do the work

You mentioned being willing to get the work done in the DC area.

Your kit = InlinePRO

InlinePRO = DC area

Go to InlinePro.

Exactly what this guy said. It is true. You may not want to believe it. What he said is true.
My S2K has been through THREE engines in less than 45K miles (first two not me).
Would you like to discuss the $10,000 I just spent to go back to OEM and remove my excellent 430hp Full Race Turbo installation?

If I were you I would read everything on S2ki about FI (that will take you all winter if you work hard at it) and then you need to decide WHAT you want to do with your car. If you want to drive street and blow people away on pulls, turbo is fine. If you are going to race track and doing seat time to learn to drive then sell the turbo kit and buy a supercharger or just leave it stock and learn how to drive fast first.

Finally, you didn't mention what engine management ECU or tuning tools you bought or will buy so that is a ton more money.

If you are hellbent on this, consider Joe Simpson at Tempest Racing in Southern Maryland. He knows his stuff and doesn't have as high overhead as PTuning or InlinePro which are your other two really good options here. I don't know of anyone down there.
