How long to fit a PD150 turbo?

[Mark1983]

I've finally decided to go for a hybrid turbo but wondered roughly how many hours labour I should be expected to be charged...

[XLBaconDoubleCheese]

£100 + vat I paid.

Id say about 3.

[Mark1983]

Really??? I would have imagined it would take ages!! :-S

What about clutch and flywheel??

[Tommytom]

What about just phoning a garage and asking them ?

Cos they might quote over the odds & I wouldn't know any better

Around 6 hours. Gearbox removal is a lot tougher.

Thanks chaps, so would I be correct in saying that a PD 150 hybrid from Turbo centre Uk for say 650 would cost me another 120 ish to fit? and then I'd be sorted minus the map (and clutch that would soon follow lol)

[Mark1983]

Prob better to do clutch first actually, then at least I can be worry free on my current map while I prepare (save) for the turbo upgrade.

Wil i also have to factor in an intercooler?

Intercooler is a necessity!!

Even at mapped power they struggle

Try more than one garage, you will soon get a clearer picture of cost.

i would say you have done the wrong thing first. Clutch or intercooler first, but both are needed, then turbo would be after that, then the mapping on top of that. I feel you will be forking out a lot of money before the turbo is even on the car as a clutch is a very large chunk of money, and an intercooler is going to be pushing £500 at least. Having said that i have an intercooler for sale, brand new if you interested PM me

[Guest BigJase88]

General prices (inc fitting)

Turbo £1200

Clutch £1000

Intercooler £700-800 for a forge

Then theres other aspects that need addressing your going to need to stop and go round corners so a brake upgrade is a must and handling

Then theres custom mapping £300-£500

Not cheap really!

To do it properly your talking £3k-4k

That price is about right. There are other parts aswell to consider like the intercooler piping, deleting your egr valve, exhaust, and air flow sensor.
