I think this guy might be fooling me
Ok friday i got a tune up in my 88' TII and it was 79$ cheap.....im sponsered so im not complaining, but anyways he says that i have a turbo crack or exhaust manifold crack....thats why my turbo is spooling up as quick. Thats not bothering me....he also said that i need a new mass air flow sensor and it would cost 1400$ for a new one and 6 hours of labor which at 45$/hour adds up....could someone explain to me why this is so much and y it takes so long?
Also my car isnt idling very well either....some times it runs at 500rpm and almost dies...(dies atleast twice in the mornings) and then after i race its at 1200rpm...could someone tell me whut to do thx

A mass air sensor is a 15-20 minute swap, not 6 hours. Perhaps he is including the time to replace the exhaust manifold?

I'd quote 6 hours for a AFM R&R and Turbo & manifold R&R, but I'd probably do it in half that.
Book says 4 hours for a turbo R&R in car.
But regardless, if it is that big of a deal, then why don't you just do it yourself???
