Honestly, just tackle it. If you run into any problems, take a picture of your problem and post it. You can do this install literally by yourself. Just take a minute and think about what goes where.

He's right, it's a lot simpler than you would expect. When I finished I looked back and realized nothing was complicated. More time was spent fighting with frozen bolts than figuring out how to install parts. I know of at least one 2gnt'er near by you that may help out. If you want I'll pm him and direct him to your thread, but there is nothing saying he will be able to help more than any one of your friends. It is very straight forward, it just takes some time, patience, and once in a while maybe an extra set of hands.

You'll only make major mistakes if you try to cut corners or rush things.
Are you using an actual pre-fab turbo kit?
If so, it should come with instructions and i'm positive any of the reputable manufacturers (star, hahn, treadstone.....) have contact info should you run into deep shit.

Star doesn't, the kits aren't even sold anymore and the manufacturer was never known for tech support even when they did make them.
