Default Air to fuel ratio gauge install?

Just curious how long it takes to install on average? I Found a shop that builds cars, tunes, etc... They run $60/hour and said they'd install the bung but that thy could also just do the whole install... If its not a lengthy install I'd rated just have them do it than me out here in the cold. Any estimate of what it takes to get that installed? After the bung is in I would think maybe another 30 minutes-45 minutes?

Assuming it's a wideband since running a bung, it really just depends on experience. I doubt it be 30 mins though. More like hour to two depending on how your pod setup is as well and running the wires.

They will probably make it atleast two hours for it to be worth their time

is reletive to the installers knowledge, experience,
equipment, work area and common sense.
Extrapolate on those areas that involve the installer
and I will extrapolate (estimate) the time
it will take them to install your A/F gauge.

I could get it done in 1 hour and not break a sweat.
But I know the S197 forwards and backwards.
What background in S197s does your installer have.
Do they have a grasp on the S197s electrical goings ons?

+1. I would expect them to bill for 2-3 hours for a complete install.
It's not hard to do though, once the bung is in place.
