Cost to install charge pipe

stilem235 · 11-09-2020, 06:15 PM

Any idea what a reasonable labor charge to install a charge pipe would be?

I was wondering the same thing

Under 3 hours, under $400.

I paid $300.

I paid $230 CAD ($177 USD) to get mine installed. Labor only.

I paid $180. But I think I got lucky. Shop quoted me 180 because they thought it would take less than two hours. Ended up taking 2.5 hours. So probably $200-300 is what you could expect.

I just got quoted 200 for installation from panda works tuning. not bad

Solid price, I was with really good local shop (one guy and helper) but he did a few other adjustments while under there.

2-2.5 hours is norm.

I paid $360.00 yesterday at Bimmers Only in Dallas, TX. 3 hours of labor @ $120/hr.

I'm feeling good with 200 then I guess. Ordered the bms charge pipe and should have it installed next week.

A Shop gave me a quote to install a dp, intercooler and charge pipe for $500, so i think a reasonable price would be $350-$400

Mine was $100 at a local BMW specialist shop (FL).

lateapex'er · 12-03-2020, 05:42 PM

That's about right for an F23, high for an F22...

stilem235 · 12-05-2020, 07:42 PM

Is that for labor alone?

That's what I figured, and this was for the N20 platform. Ended up DIY'ing it.

N20 is easier. I have ER CP on both N55 and N20, and there's a lot more room to work on the N20.
