Installed it with two of my buddies. Took two days total, because the bolts connecting the stock header to the overpipe were a complete pain to remove(ended up shearing one of the bolts). Then while installing the downpipe, the two lower bolts are a complete bitch to get to. That's what took the majority of the time.
As far as experience goes, this was the first time I've ever done a turbo install. Only thing I've done before was a complete engine(7M-GE) rebuild.
The other two helped with that rebuild, and one of them have turbo'd another car.
So, completely doable in a weekend. You might just hit a few annoying snags.
