Hey guys,

I've got a volvo turbo flange that I need to get machined. The "lip" needs to go in order to fit onto my manifold.

Whats the average price for something like that? I just don't want to get ripped off!


You guys in the bay area have any recommendations on which shop?

thanks guys.

 

I'm not in the bay but many machine shops charge around $80 an hour shop rate for machining. It shouldn't take them an hour to face mill that piece and I would estimate them taking a total of 20-30 minutes to do that job. So $40 would be a good price for them to mill the inlet and outlet flanges. You should get the outlet flange done while you're at it so you don't have to use a gasket with the DP.

 

Shouldn't take more than 5 mins. I know which turbo you are using.. I have one sitting here next to my T25. You need that 1/4th of an inch machined off right? Don't let them charge you more than $20 IMO..

 

I actually had this done with my first turbo. I paid 80 dollars and was completely ripped off. Just make sure they quote you before you drop your turbo off. I think 40 dollars would have been a fair price.

Have you checked atpturbo? They actually sell an adaptor for the Volvo turbo.
