Actually no I didn't.

The hardest part of the turbo install is taking off the oil pan in my opinion. Should take you maybe 10 hours if its your first time with a complete kit. I did mine in 7 hours including a full 3" exhaust turbo back, and a fuel pump. I had my tuner install my injectors when I got there for $100. That to me was cheaper than a tow, plus my car is low so I can only tow it without my front bumper on.

It's going to be JDL's kit. I will have everything stock for now, but within a few months upgrade clutch. Later down the road injectors and fuel pump. Me installing it in 10 hours? I would buy myself a whole bucket of cookies if I did that. So staying off boost would be similar to grandma-driving it I suppose, no?
