What are you guys being charged for the install? Do you do it yourself.. or pay someone? I'm trying to get an estimate on total assests I need to build before I make the jump. What would it cost for the install?
Try 700 to 1k2001sleeper said:do your own install, that is what makes a true "car guy".
install is probably going to cost you about $500-650 if you decide on that route.

lgndracer said:I paid about $1100, including dyno time and custom tune. This was not your basic KB install though, we used a Chicane expansion tank that needed to be modified, and used a MAC CAI w/ a Lightning MAF. I could have maybe gotten it done for a little less from some rinky dink shop, but I am pretty anal, and was really impressed with the guys who did it. It turned out very clean, and actually better than expected.
And me being happy with the results is all that really matters.

Its ALL about the tune, you could blow your engine up pretty quick if you don't know what your doing. It would be alot better for you to save up and pay for an install and good tune, you'll feel 10x better once you get overthe money hit in your pockets. In the long run a the $$$ for a tune is well well worth it. It will run better, have more power, and last ALOT longer with a good tune.

but you also need to get a dyno tune which runs about $500 more
WillDuhhBeast said:I was considering a procharger.. I'm extremely new to this, obviously. But I am eager to learn things. I was convinced on a procharger kit.. but maybe KB? I don't know really. What would be the best suggestion you guys can give? Money isnt a HUGE issue.. but it is important. Plus, I'm not making a race car.. just adding some power.
