Can a person with a medium amount of mechanical knowledge install a turbo kit from Star or Hagn or should a professional do it. And how much could you expect a garage to charge for this installation?

Do it yourself.
At the risk of sounding like someone's parents, i installed my turbo on my back, in a parking lot while it was raining and 26* outside with just hand tools and a flashlight.
And that was just the first time.

yes pleas eod it yourself, it makes it so much easier to deal with with something goes wrong later. while it wasnt 26 degrees outside, i did do mine by myself (friends? they all drive honduhs) but i did it with nothing holding it up but a pair of plastic ramps in the front.

The pump is pretty easy just a buncha wiring. Do the fuel pump rewire mod while our at it and save some time hehe. The FMU is something else, that one really got me confused...
