I'm looking at my partial kit (no fuel system, and oil return line), and the turbo itself wouldn't be more than 5 hours for a stage two if you are mechanically savvy and you work straight through. Fuel system, might want to spend some time with that since the directions are a bit on the foggy side. I just hope the old parts are not rusted on there. If so, i would give all bolts visible a quick squirt of liquid wrench the night before. Make sure you have all of the tools (mainly a deep socket 1 1/16", and o2 sensor socket , gaskets, sealent, hoses and lines before you start.
read the instructions carefully (atleast 3 times) before you start taking shit apart. I hope this helps. If you have anyother question, check out Corbins page. He's got some good advice. otherwise I'll be going through the same shit you'll be doing pretty soon. I still haven;t figure out how the fuel system hooks up...:o(

two days max if you have all the tools and an assistant (and dont break anything crusial). Since you have a 95' it should be simular to my install (and easier than 96up models thank god).

took several days... mainly because i hda to keep running out for tools i didnt have (oil sensor, o2 sensor sockets, etc)... and no assistant.. and no floor creeper! oh my back was killing me for that one.. also, i spent FOREVER on the fuel system.... i take long since i quadruple check everything. if i had to do it again, maybe a day. after gettting some phone and online help i got the fuel system figured out.
