Thought I'd ring around and compare prices up here in CQ for a tune and some other bits. Let me know what you think.

I've decided to go with Dave/BlueBoost, but thought I'd share some of the other pricesi was offered. (the exhaust I have that needs fitting is a 4" dump, 3.5" hi flo cat, and a twin 2.5" system)

Quote #1

Fit Exhaust System: $600.00 approx

Intank Fuel Pump: $550.00 (add $180.00 if vehicle is a ute) supplied and fitted

6 x Injectors: $1080.00 supplied and fitted

Flash 2 Tuner with 3 RDP custom tunes $1495.00

Total $3725... and they have said with my F6 CAI and Panel Filter, max of 280rwkw.

Quote #2

Fuel Pump, Seimens metal 600cc injectors, Growler kit (as apparently my CAI is holding back valueable KW), Flash 2 Tuner with 3 tunes, 10 pound actuator.

$4000... possible 330rwkw.

Why Xcal 2 and not 3?

[mattyb]

Not too sure. I called around and found that in the CQ area and that seems to be the norm, I can only find...

Blueboost (Dave, who I'm using, as he comes highly recommended, and is a long standing member of theic forum)

RDP Performance - Mackay

Monster Performance - Mackay

Dynamic Mechanix - Rockhampton

Apart from Dave, the others keep telling me that $3000 wont get me much, and not to expect more than 280RWK

My car is a BFI XR6T, F6 CAI, K&N Panel, I have an as yet unfitted 4" Dump Pipe, 3.5" Hi Flo cat, and twin 2.5" exhaust.

hmm does sound a lil on the highside.. maybe try and source a few products from group buys. pretty sure there is a fuel pump group buy atm, also there is injector sale aswell. keep a eye out in the threads

[mattyb]

Before anyone reads into this and assumes that Dave is charging me a little on the heavy side too.. I'd like to mention that his quote was under $3000 unlike the others, and included injectors, and a after market intercooler, gap plugs, tighten turbo and manifold, x3 flash tuner and tunes. So I really can't complain at all.

As for the bulk buys at the moment, unfortunately I'm running on the lean side of the cash flow for the next 2 weeks, if they are still going when my wallet fills up, then I'll definately buy from here.

FMD man 6 x Injectors: $1080.00 supplied and fitted is blue murder.....

$550-600 for injectors MAX and no more than $100 to fit.

See Blueboost mate, hes a top tuner and his work backs that up. Too many horror stories from the other monkeys up that way.

Also $600 to bolt up YOUR exhaust, even that's double what it should cost!!

Fit the fuel pump yourself, its a 20 minute job and theres enough write ups on here to show u how to do it. get a walbro 340, as its got a huge pickup compared to the others... it will help stop some of that dreaded sedan surge!

All the work you want done shouldnt come to more than $3500 TUNED.

as for CAI, do the F6 under headlight mod... that supports 300rwkw and is only $70.

get some injectors from site sponsor Rapid... $399 for 60lb Dekas. you WILL NOT find cheaper.

[JETURBO]

[Adrian6T]

Wow. That is expensive. Dont ring around but visit a place and talk to a tuner.

[Adrian6T]

Fit Exhaust System: $300 MAX

Intank Fuel Pump: $180-$200 supply + $150 fitted MAX

6 x Injectors: $450 Supply + $100-$150 fitted MAX

Flash 3: $700-$750 supply and $800-$950 custom tune.

Those prices you were given were unacceptable.
