Ok today I went to a local Chicago Porsche shop to see if they could install the Evo intake they stated that they have to drop the engine to do the install and would be a charge of approx 6 to 8 hours in labor OUCH!

at $100 per hour

I contacted Evo about this and they said that you dont have to drop the engine but that the intake is a time consuming process. Also, I want to install my new headers thats another 3 hour labor charge

I havent heard of anyone having to drop the engine to install an intake. At these rates I may have to sell my car and keep my bmw

Any thoughts or ideas?
