[QUOTE="Ptvenom, post: 10936343, member: 120701"] I bought a used 03 cobra back in February. Once I go the car home I went to one of the local speed shops to see about getting some upgrades. What was once to be a simple Whipple/KB swap soon turned into a Hellion twin turbo package for my new toy. Had quite a few things done to the car besides the twin turbos but my main concern here is the labor charges for the turbo install. Will skip some things so this isnt too long. I was initially told $3500-$5000 for turbo install. I can understand that some things do pop up during installs and I know turbo kits are not a quick swap from supercharger. Labor for the turbo kit now stands at $12,750 and the car isnt even finished. Labor for my turbo kit alone is $8500.00 Labor for hot/cold side mods were $4250.00 This was from the intercooler being too high and I asked for it to be lowered. Before & after photos of the intercooler below. Im sure none of you would have wanted the intercooler sitting in its current state as in the first photo. Before [ATTACH=full]218727[/ATTACH] After [ATTACH=full]218728[/ATTACH] These labor charges seem very excessive and was hoping some of you could shed some light on labor costs. I do have actual invoices for the charges in case anyone doubts the chargers were real. Will be glad to post them here if anyone needs to see. Thanks [/QUOTE]
