Default Is this a good price?

Hey all, just got off the phone with FIXX Tuning. I'm getting the GIAC chip, Forge 007 DV, and a turbo gauge columpod installed. All can be seen here: http://shop.fixxtuning.com/s.nl/sc.2/category.591/.f I was wondering if I was getting a good deal or not. Chip is $495, DV is $139, Turbo gauge with pod is $69. All seems well and then it's going to take 2 hours to do all of this and $150 for labor. Not sure if this is a good deal or not. 1.5 hours install on the turbo gauge is going to cost me $112.50. Total with tax is going to be around $900. I really don't know, please leave some feedback on what you all think. Thanks.

-Mike

depending on the type of pod and what gauge, thats probably not a "bad" deal, but it's not the best deal you'll find.

The pod i'm getting is this one http://shop.fixxtuning.com/s.nl/sc.2/category.602/.f . Is it worth $69 + 112.50 installation?

The boost gauge is a very easy DIY

Then why is it 1.5 hours for install. At 75/hr. for labor, the boost gauge plus labor comes to $180+! How easy would it be to install if I knew little to nothing about wiring with Audi cars?

Thanks for the link BLAZED, I read over it and decided that if the shop can't do it in 30 minutes, I'm going to wait on it and attempt to do it myself. Thanks to all of you guys for the help.
