I think about 20 hours would be a good estimate and would give you a good buffer space for any issues that might pop up. You have a really cheap mechanic :P

So parts are around $3500 ?
Labor is $150 x 20 = $3000
So grand total is around $6500 ??

Needs to be more Astony
I'm sure there are discount shops everywhere that have something similar to $48, but would you really want a shop like that do a turbo install on your mustang?

Hahahahahaha THE FORD DEALER IS A QUALITY SHOP?!?!?!?!?!?! Lamotta Performance charges about $60 per hour. Google him, quite far from a discount shop. Just because the rate is affordable doesn't mean the work is poor. But if you want to pay someone $150 per hour to change your brake pads, more power to ya pal. Wow lol. Thanks for the laugh haha

Here on Seattle the rate is about 100 or so.

Well, no turbo for me since I'll have to spend about 6 to 7 grand
I don't have the time, knowledge, tools or patience to do the install myself.
I also don't have another car so you can add a car rental to the total price which will be about $40/day.

Tools you'd need are basic tools:
-ramps
-some car supports - i only used 2 ramps for the front and that was plenty for me to work under the entire car... lucky for me I am skinny
-good set of ratchet & socket stuff
-a few wrenches
-hammer
-hole punch
-threading tool - $10
-soldering iron for MAF extension
-power drill
I think that's about it. With patience and having all tools ready... it is doable in about 1 weekend.
If you decide to do it, I can give ya my # and you can call and I could help out over the phone.
