Whats a good estimate for how much it will cost for the kit to be installed?
Whats a good estimate for a simple tune?
When the kit is removed is it hard to make the engine bay look as though its never been turboed?

 

?? how much to install, call around. It took my brother and i about 8 hrs so with hourly labor rates it could be pricey.

I was quoted $250 to tune my emanage locally but i ended up buying AEM EMS and it's $700 to have tuned.

It can be put back to stock if you have all the parts. be sure and get them from the shop

 

thanks bud, how much do you think members on the board would charge? i want it installed properly but without BS shop premiums

 

Also what are your thoughts for the greddy kit, how many miles have you put on it, does it ever overheat or give u issues? is it fun and is the power noticeable thanks again

 

i'll let you know wednesday. I'm getting tuned at T1 in dallas.

 

i just installed the greddy kit on MY06 about a two months ago and tuned about two weeks ago. put about 1000 miles on it so far, and no issues with anything so far...

if you are in NJ pm minitoyota for install. he installed most of the turbo kits in the metro forum.

 

Whats a good estimate for how much it will cost for the kit to be installed? Buy a tool set from Sears, and install it yourself. There are decent "how to" threads on here. Take your time, and do it right
Whats a good estimate for a simple tune? The kit comes with the EMU piggy back, there are very few decent tuners. If most of the tuners in your area only tune EMS, switch platforms.
When the kit is removed is it hard to make the engine bay look as though its never been turboed? If you install it correctly, then it should come off right. ++ the benefits of installing it yourself is that you keep and store the stock parts.

 

I installed mine myself, but it took forever. I had never done anything like that before but know about cars. It was actually fairly easy. I also took mine off after about a year because I planned to sell my car but decided to keep it. If you look in my engine bay now, you would never know a turbo was in it.
The increase in power is quite noticable! it is not a monster 400-500 hp kit but it is MUCH different from stock. You will smile quite often and I found I didn't drive my car as hard when I had the turbo. I shifted arjound 6-6.5K if I was driving hard when I had the turbo. Now I rrev it up over 7K all the time! I guess I am just searching for that extra power that I used to have!!
