Do you have a tunable ECU? If not any mechanic can change the turbo over, if you're getting it tuned then you want to go to one of the well known places that know their stuff with your particular ECU, Racepace, RE etc.

My mechanic's details are below.

[cosmokram3r]

Im not too sure if i have a tunable ECU its just the stock ECU pretty much how could i tell? Because i was going to get it re-mapped when i install everything..

Just gave a call to RE they quoted me about $350, i might ring around but try to get RE to drop it to $300 for the 1 day job we'll see how it goes since springvale is closer to me

[cosmokram3r]

Yeah in the topic description thing i put preferrably in the SE suburbs..

[abu]

Its stock ECU so its not tuneable unless its chipped then tuned (REMAP'D)

What divhunter meant was, is the ECU like a E-MANAGE, Power FC etc

[cosmokram3r]

Ahhh my bad.. lol didnt know that still learning =P

[R31Nismoid]

lol... $350 for a turbo install, and your trying to jew them down another $50?

Jesus man... $350 is already a very fair and reasonable price for the work involved.

I would have thought $500 personally.

As for the rest - there are a dozen workshops in the Workshop sticky...

haha ima jew all i can man this upgrade's gonna cost me a small fortune have to cut costs any way that i can =P but yeahh no harm in trying to drop $50 lol

[VB-]

jew it up to the max and do it yourself

PS - im feeling this 'jew' thing. good work nismoid

Dude - if you cant afford to mod it, then you don't

Do it once the right way, or not at all as it'll end up costing you more.

Thats the one thing i've learnt in the 6-7 years i've been playing with cars, and mainly RB's.

If owned a workshop and you asked me to knock off 50, i'd probably add 50 for the point and make it 400

Just go to RE they are good.

Yeah and i'd say thanks but no thanks and go somewhere else

Nahhh i can afford it, but theres no harm in trying to bargain a little

You get what you paid for mate, trust me.

creatd is a good trusty workshop take a look at my engine for example

Hmmm might have to give a ring to a few of these other places you guys have been suggesting.. if i went to RE or anywhere else for that matter, would they supply water lines if needed?

Turbo is http://horsepowerinabox.com/HPIAB2/category12_1.htm#643 ... Abu said i could use the stock oil/water lines but theres a note saying:

** please note the Garrett GT series turbos have a M14 water outlet size rather than the larger Nissan RB20/25 size outlet so water lines will have to be revised**
