Quote:
I would you big time.


What does it mean?
And also is it a common expression among native speakers?

Thanks.

Is there something missing in your quote? For example, "I would owe you big time."

(If you did this favor for me, I would owe you big time. )

Sorry, I missed 'owe' in my early quote. Still I wonder what 'I would owe you big time.' means. Would you paraphrase it for me?

Thanks.

You did me a big favor. I owe you a lot for it.
