Anybody installed their own Turbo?
1. How much time
2. Did u wish u just payed someone (how much are they charging to install anyway)
Sorry if this info was somewhere else, i couldn't find it

We did all of our own. If your a good wrench you should be fine. Just read all the instructions and phone and ask questions if you dont understand something.

Good Luck

Its probably best if you do it yourself, that way you begin to understand all the concepts of what's going on under the hood. You'll understand the shortcomings of doing a bad hose routing job, etc, plus, you'll be able to troubleshoot things on down the line...

Probably took 20hrs to do it the first time a few years ago. I think if you werent A.D.D, like myself, you could do it in under 8 fairly easily...

With all the newer plug and play kits, average install is probably between 4-7hrs.

I could not agree more, if I paid some one to do it for me the first time something went wrong I would lift the hood and just stair at it not knowing were to start. now I know what every wire and hose is for and what everything does, so what if it takes you 40 hours, get everything just right the first time. plus it was said on another post somewhere on here that if you are not sure you have the know how to install a turbo, maybe , maybe you don't have the know how to keep one going, not a dig at you, just something to consider. My twisted kit was pretty easy by the way, shain has some good instructions and if you get stuck he always answers the phone
