£2k labour to swap 996T injectors?

[youngsyr]

I just got a quote fropm my local indy (a Porsche specialist) to replace the standard injectors in my 2002 996 turbo with uprated 750cc bosch ones (supplied by me) for £1,700 + VAT labour only and they want to drop the engine and need the car for a week.


I understand it's possible (although not easy) to replace the injectors without dropping the engine in about a day, so was expecting a quote for a fraction of the cost.


Am I way out on my expectations here? Is it really 15-20 hours of labour to replace them and if not, can anyone recommend a garage that will do it properly in less time, preferably in the South East.


​Thanks!

Does that include slight map tweak, as presume they will need to change the injector opening time if different to stock?

Then will need road test/rolling road check to make sure fuelling OK through the rev/load range, I would suspect.

Nope, just labour to fit them.

Then that does sound pricey.

Have you tried getting a quotes from 9 Excellence, Parr, Paragon?

Sounds about right, even after dropping the engine out there’s quite a bit of stripping to remove the inlet manifolds. There’s some alloy that you need to remove as the end of the standard injectors are not round
