Title: How long would it take a garage to fit a TBE
Post by: Baz300 on June 08, 2012, 08:18:57 pm

I will be looking to get my blueflame TBE fitted soon I would normally do this kind of thing by myself but it really needs to be up on a set of ramps to get accesse

How Long would it take for a garage to fit? Looking for a rough idea for prices

Yes,as long as all the bolts come out and don't shear off in the manifold .. :scared:

JKM took an hour to do mine.
