mattri Member 214 Member For: 19y 10m 27d Posted 04/07/14 04:00 AM Author Share Posted 04/07/14 04:00 AM Got an email back from a well known tuner in sydney and this is what it saidHi Matt The cost to supply and fit the injectors is $990. The cost to custom tune your vehicle on the dyno is $880. To fit the intercooler kit and the battery re location kit is $880. Fit fuel pump is $165.Also asked for a price break down on parts and he has added at least 10% on top of what I can get it for.This is just for an FYIO h I dint mean show car is in top of the line, im talking neat and tidy and clean that you cna take to local showsThis is only my performance budget, other stuff is already purchased 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomT Spooling Member Donating Members 961 Member For: 13y 2m 25d Gender: Male Location: Blue Mountains, NSW Posted 04/07/14 04:13 AM Share Posted 04/07/14 04:13 AM (edited) Mate businesses are always going have some type of mark up on parts they supply.There are pros and cons for each.If you supply the parts, it will work out a bit cheaper. But, if one of the parts is faulty or wrong the responsibility comes back on you.If the workshop supplies the parts it comes back on them to chase it up or get the right part.
