Default installing gauges

Hey guys, I just got my greddy kit installed, but my shop wanted another 4 hours of labor to install my 2 gauges (boost/oil pressure) and my a-pillar pod. Does this seem about right? How hard is it to do yourself?

Sorry guys i'm new to FI advice will be helpful! thanks!

Gauges are easy. Boost is a piece of cake. Its a poisitive and negative for lighting and a vaccum line, mine is t'ed off of the boost controller.
oil pressure is just tough finding the fittings depending on how your turbo is supplied with oil.

so you think that the 3-4 hrs that my shop estimated is too long? keep in mind this is installing gauges and a-pillar.

Running wires up the a-pillar is cake. They just snake along up from the kick panel and up the side of the dash to the pillar.

I installed 4 gauges by cutting INTO the dash and running all the wire and it didn't even take 3 hours. There raping you on the 4 hour charge, it shouldn't be any longer then ~1 hour.

4 Hours is WAY too long. Even if you are picky with running the wires cleanly, it should take 2 hours tops.
