My 3sgte progress Options

[ToYCeLi8]

Well I took my celi into ELP last monday to hopefully debug the poor thing and get it up and running. Well I finally received an email friday telling me that my harness was not done very well and it has to be redone . That really sux cuz I wont have the extra money to buy the stand alone nor the greddy emanage. But he will be charging me $1500 to redo my harness and I pray that will be the solution to my major problems. So as soon as thats done i will put in my order for the new turbo and other internals. As of now tho thats the bad and ugly news for me .

Soon to be boosted,
David

Why is everyone dogging on ELP? THEY ARE THE BEST for toyota bound problems. And yes their prices are a bit high, but not really because he estimates that it will take him a total of like 23 hours to work on a harness and that comes out to a minor $65 an hour, which in mechanics world is fairly cheap.

I will also add that he charged me $1500 to rework my harness, did it fairly quickly, did a whole bunch of other crap for free, like timing, making a bracket for my fuel pump resistor, a bracket for another sensor, a bracket for my throttle cable to make it tighter, explained to me other problems like my AFM, damaged hoses, etc.

so in my opinion $55 for mechanical work, and $65 for electrical work is very reasonable for a more than capable mechanic.
