Rough cost for coolant pinning/welding
#1

Let's say I am doing the full engine drop pinning/welding approach to fixing the coolant lines.
What's a fair price to get this work done?
(I am aware of the $50 engine-in DIY guide, but am terrified of doing that to my GT2 and as such would rather let pros work on the car. Maybe if it were more of a beater...)

It may be more expensive to do a turbo than a naturally aspirated Mezger. Part of the cost is replacing the other "consumables" while the engine is on the bench.
I think a typical cost just for welding the pipes, plus the small fee for the Sharkwerk's pipes to put in, is about $3K or so.
You can't put a price on safety and peace of mind.
All the best....

I just had my coolant pipes taken care of at SP Motorsports a few weeks ago. It cost about $4k to address the coolant pipes using the BBI inserts and sharkwerks pipes. It would have been cheaper, but they also replaced a bunch of seals, o-rings, and fluids while the engine was out.

I'm getting this done in 2 weeks locally. Sherkworks recommended changing the right and left main coolant hoses. I wonder what else needs to be replaced while the engine is out.

to clarify the misinformation. Porsche dealership in bay area will drop and reinstall motor for~ $2500. Not including other labor to remove & reinstall welded or pin lines.
