Sun, 08 May 2005 09:42 Man I'd love to know what shit people are using for intercoolers and pipes if they only cost $750 supplied and fitted. A total piece of shit cheap cooler is like $350, so what you are saying, is that they will fit it, supply silicon hoses, stainless clamps, mandrel bends for pipes, time to fabricate it, cost of tig welding or time to do the job, paint, refit, all for $350?? Wow, you have one seriously cheap workshop, they must be paying their staff like slave labour rates or something!!! Reallistically and still boody cheap, half of what a workshop would charge, cooler-$400 supplied, materials for pipes including mandrel bends and straight-$200 mild steel, $250 aluminium, labour to fit cooler-$100, labour to fabricate pipes and tig weld-$250, silicon hoses with stainless clamps with NO silicon elbows-$180, add $60 for each bend in silicon. Powder coating or polishing $80, TOTAL $1180 in mild steel and $1230 in aluminium. Now lets look at bargain basement. This is what it would cost me to do the job. Cooler $320, materials for pipes $150 mild and $200 aluminium, tig welding $80, silicon hoses and clamps $130, powder coating or polishing $80. Total $760 in mild steel and $810 in aluminium PLUS!!!!!!!!! at least a whole days labour, 4-5 phone calls, $30 in postage for materials, $20 in fuel running around with tig welding, polishing etc, and about another 3-4 hours that go into arranging it all, making teh calls, getting little things done, and this is still a shitty little cheap piece of crap intercooler!! Some people need some serious perspective, speaking personally from about 30 intercooler and pipe installs. 6BOOST [Updated on: Sun, 08 May 2005 09:44] [Report message to a moderator]
