Lightbulb GTM TT Install

Has anyone contacted local shops to find out how much it will cost to install? (The newest kit in the group buy)

I know that GTM is saying it should take about 25 hours to install, but I've got quotes saying 40 and costing around 3500 just for labor

idk 40 hours sounds like alot lol

25 hours of expert work only on the install should be enough...

contact GTM! maybe they know a location near you!

Around $3,500 give or take for different shops sounds like a close estimate.

I received quotes from 3 shops. More of an interview process... For my safety and piece of mind

The quotes I received range from 1800$-2400$. That was including coolers, boost controller and gauges. The shops I inquired with are some of the best Z/G specialty in the nation. PM me for more info I see your local.

All depends on the hourly rate of your shop and where in the US you are. But generally speaking you're looking between $3000~$4000 if the engine needs to be pulled and no issues come up.

Send them to me I'll do the installs for $2000 . But I was quoted by Z1 to do the install for $2800 a while back. I think you guys should man up and turn some wrenches, it's not that hard!

You self installed DPE G? I may be in touch soon to pick your brain when I pull mine into the garage for the transformation.

I would do it myself (and with a friend who's swapped/built/turbo'd his 240) but the down time would be a lot more and this is my daily car....so Idk, we'll see

i know youre in NC but i have jotech do all of my work here in texas wouldnt hurt to give them a call and see how much they would charge to install the kit....idk if its worth shipping it here or not and for the life of me i cant remember what they charged me to install my supercharger on my coupe... i asked the dealer and they were around 2500 for the install which to me wasnt too bad considering your 3500 dollar quote
