Wiring help plz...
I just went single and I noticed I was charged a lot for wiring. According to my guy here, he had to take out all the extra wiring that went to the original twin turbo set-up, retrace it back to the PFC and remove it. Then he had to install my Defi Link guages (Oil P & TEMP, 2 EGT sensors - all of them linked) and he also installed the Blitz SBC-iD boost controller, and Power Meter. Also include any other stuff that needs to be done when going single that I may be unaware of. Take into account that my wiring harness was probably a lttile out of shape as well. He charged me for almost 4 1/2 days worth of work. Does that sound like too much???
Also, how much have you guys typically paid per hour for wiring? I don't want to accuse anybody before I get all the details, so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks everyone!

I won't let go
He pulled the wiring all the way back to the ECU?!? WAAAAYYYYYYY overkill. Though, I wonder what the weight savings is on that?
Seriously, there's no wiring to the turbo assy. Just some vac. lines. All the wiring is under the UIM to the solenoids and some emissions things. I'm in the middle of a single conversion. Yes, there is a lot of crap that can go, but if done right, you just need to cut it back to the main loom; obviously making sure that the wires are properly isolated from everything else (shorts = bad).
I think he went above and beyond and sure as hell charged you for it though it wasn't necessary.
