broke Donating Members 229 Member For: 13y 6m 13d Gender: Male Posted 05/06/12 03:20 AM Share Posted 05/06/12 03:20 AM hey guys, I just bought a new pipe kit and got a quote to fit from my tuner of $300. I didnt really know what to expect with fitting costs but I was a little taken back by it given I only paid $345 for the kit. He also said that I can have a 2nd hand F6 cooler for $200 ($500 total fit) if I wanted as well. Seem about right to anyone that has had them installed?Cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80461-fitting-fg-ic-piping/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it myself, took about 3hrs with a mate, could do it in half that now!

Looking at some tuners labour rates I can see this being in the ballpark. I did mine in the garage over alot of beers and a few hours.

But also its satisfying doing it yourself. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80461-fitting-fg-ic-piping/#findComment-1249931 Share on other sites More sharing options...
