so my car has a BHG.. it is currently at the Toyota Dealership in the hands of a good mechanic that has worked on the Mkiii supras before, i have a Felpro HG being put on, ARP's torqued to 82ft. lbs. geting the prep work done that needs to be. having them replace my intake manifold gaskets, re-threading the exhaust manifold stud holes in the head, and geting new studs for that, also replacing the wastegate on the turbo while its off cause it doesnt open, flush the oil system to get all coolant out, and just check other random lines and hoses that might need to be replaced since they have the car apart.

soo i would like to see what your estimations are as to how much this total project will cost me when their done with it. i have their price estimate they gave me for the hours of labor and everything involved, so whats yours??:naughty:

i bet you worked on out and got him to go some where around 950.. he's more then likely workin on it after hours too.. definitly a nice guy if you say he's doing it for less then 1350...

i'd recomend getting the driftmotion 7/16 exhaust stud /helicoil upgrade. well worth the 70 bucks or so.

my estimate:

cheap new set of walmart tools (if you don't have any) = $50
parts = $300
labor = 1 weekend

spend the money saved on more important things like beer and/or hookers
