Install time question??

OK i know that there is no set time or anything because it varys on how hard you work and everything but just curious at how long im looking.

Im going to take my twins off and lw install a high tech single turbo and also going to install a clutch. So does anybody have any idea of how long it should take 2 people to do this? Looking at doin it this weekend so any help is greatly appreciated. I only have somebody helpin me one day and other than that im all by myself so can it get done ini a day pretty easy? Thanks,

Kevin

Its very possible to do in one day if both can turn a decent wrench, and you have every thing you need if you get in a snag. Do the clutch while you have help first and the turbo part is easy for the most part.

With two guys I would say you can replace a clutch in half a day, or one day for sure. I would not be able to do this though, two guys must have beer breaks!

I would say about 5 to 6 hrs with 2 guys if you keep at it and don't run in to any problems which unlike me doesn't happen to often.

O yea forgot, leave the beer out of the project if you want to be done this weekend. When we did the clutch on the 06 we started at 6 pm and ended at 5 am after 2 cases and 2 pizzas.
