Default Need a price

I'm getting my air/fuel and boost gauge installed this friday and was wondering how much a mechanic would charge me do do this. Thanks.

People tend to do these jobs themselves. For those that have done it a few times, it's possible to connect both gauges in an hour or so. Sometimes you need to get a little creative finding a place to put the gauges, which could take some extra time. Do you have a plan for where they will go -- gauge pods, under radio plate, etc.?

Good point. I was assuming a narrow band (tap the O2 wire) a/f gauge and a mechanical (T the KLR line) boost gauge.

Its going under the radio. I have the LR gauge panel and the gauges are the Lambdalink digital air/fuel, and a auto meter boost gauge. I really don't have time so thats why i'm looking for someone to do this for me. How many hours does it take to do the install?

If you install in narrow band mode then Tom has it right, if going wide band ( best method ) then add time for welding in a bung for the wide band O2 sensor.

Nice unit !
