Hi. I can get a turbo and installed from a local shop for $3200. DUnno what kinda turbo, Im assuming its not a fsat one, im assuming most of the money is labor probably.
Well what im asking is, I dont nkow much about cars, replacing my alternator was pretty overboard for me...... I mean I know basic stuff, alternator, spark plugs, plug wires ecu coolant ya know ive worked on all the basic stuff.
So should i pay $3200 on all turbo and put it in myself? Is it hard? Or am I better off putting some of that $3200 into labor and getting less of a turbo, whatever they have down there. just wondering, because I odnt want to buy a han kit or something then have it arrive and I cant do it at all..... I cant bend pipes or anything like that.....

Ok actually another question.
I dont know much about cars. Can I do the hahn kit? Or star kit? For people who did these kits did it come with everything? Like I said I cant drill or bend pipes, Id have to get someone to do it. I dont want to start an argument but which kit is better/easier?

Well check out Wyatt's site and see the install pictures, if it looks like you can't do it then definately pay someone. www.turbogs.com Better to have a professional do it if you have no clue of what to do. Haha I've ran into a whole lotta install problems that creep up later on you, mostly due to my inexperience.

you can do it yourself. if oyu can replace the alternator you can install a turbo kit, its just more work. its not harder, just more time consuming. the only thing you may have a problem with is cutting the downpipe on the hahn kit, but any shop with an electric saw can do that for you (the didnt even charge me cuz it took 4 seconds) www.blue2gnt.homestead.comwww.geocities.com/blue2gnt

Where do you live (city and state)? Theres a lot of turbo'd people on this board and if you live close to someone, maybe maybe they would do it for you at a cheap price or even free... If you live anywhere near Lansing Michigan, I'd be willing to help or do it all for a cheap price.
