200$ to install turbo gauge??

[Damaga]

Talked to my Mazda dealership lately and I asked then if they install turbo gauges...They never did but quoted me a 200$ installation price (and I supply my own gauge and pod).

Is it just me or that seems a tad overpriced???!!!(uhm)

You guys know of any good place in NE Ohio to get it installed?
Oh, yeah, and I don't trust myself to do it!

maybe a local board member could help you install them. or they could do it for a cheaper price

 

[jflo]

you're talking about installing a boost gauge right ? why don't you just ask local members to help install it for you ?

$200! s***!
if you were near me I'd do it for $20!

yeah, that's pretty high for fishing an air line through the firewall and tapping into your cars illumination wire. Unless you are planning on doing this to maintain your warranty, I would just do a stealth install.

It's not hard to do.

THat's garbage.... even if they charge normal work time a gauge install is only 1/2 hour job (by the book) so it should only be $25 -30. Shops usually charge about 50 - 60 dollars a hour. I just think that they don't want to do it.

those dumb ***** probablt dont know how to do it

They probably were surprised you had a turbo....

If you do some searches, there are some really detailed instructions on this forum. My first try at the boost gage install went pretty smoothly....so you may want to give it a try.

Why would a boost gauge not maintain your warranty?

Why would a boost gauge not maintain your warranty?

You need to tap into a vacuum line. Could cause a vacuum leak. If you tap into your cars electrical system - technically they might try to say you are tampering with it.

Yes, I know you can go to www.enjoythedrive.com and see what you are "legally" entitled to. However, realize that you would need to take on a dealership in court to do so. It's been covered a multitude of times on this forum, and many others.

If I were this guy, I would just do it myself. It's not hard, it's been detailed all over the forum. I did mine.

wich dealer?

 

[jersey_emt]

Yeah, installing a boost gauge is easy...you'll have no problems doing it yourself. If you don't feel comfortable then just hit up a local forum member...many of the people here have already installed gauges in their car, and could help you out

 

[Pkay]

well $200 but the s*** wouldn't be violating warranty which could be nice

 

[Damaga]

Well thanks for the response guys.
Yeah, the fact that they quoted 200$ probably means that they don't want to do it...

Its a joke its so easy. I installed mine a couple weeks ago, came out great, almost looks factory. Its slick. Took a few hours just because it was the 1st time and I was being careful.

I could install another one now in 20-30 minutes having done it. Someone local should be able to show you how.

Sorry, I haven't been on here in like a month. I could give you a hand sometime if my schedule ever lightens up. I have boost, oil temp and oil pressure gauges that I'll be installing in my MSP if we get a nice Saturday or Sunday when I'm actually home. Then we should be able to get yours done pretty quickly.

Well thanks for the response guys.
