Most of the work was done by myself except the ECU upgrades, (Neuspeed .8 bar installed by Sunnvyale VW The GIAC 1.1 bar installed by Dynospot Racing.) I've estimated that based on the hours above (approx. 82 hours), and then cutting that in half, (about 40 hours), then using an average of $65/hour for mechanics wages, I figured I saved over $2,665 in labor!
