Here ya go:

What Is expected install time for a non mechanically inclined person!

Hi! I am considering buying a super charger or turbo soon and the only thing stopping me is installation. I am not mechanically inclined what so ever and neither is my boyfriend. I couldn't even bearly manage to change to a spare tire.. He paid a shop 2k in Orlando to install his SC but I am trying to avoid that cost if possible. What would expected install time be for someone like me? Would I be able to do it in a weekend? I work m-f and need my car to get to work. Any opinions on an easier install kit to buy?

Oh and here is bearly changing a tire.

Weird part is, I have read something like that before... to certain degree, I understand her point of view... but c'mon, she just need to fork up the money to get it done right.

"Neither is my boyfriend"... so it's a chick, presumably hot(because she drives an 86)... why doesn't she just ask someone to do it for her? And $2k seems a bit steep for an SC install no?

No idea what it would cost to have one installed. If I was to do it this is actually something I would do myself just for the satisfaction of doing it myself.

Same. But even at $100 an hour(the only local tuning shop and dealerships charge this much around here) that's still 20hrs... that seems too long for experienced mechanics. If it had to be run on the dyno I could see it though

Or spend some time learning and researching what is involved instead of thinking this is just something you slap in an afternoon. I am all in favour of people learning to do their own work but there has to be some element of realism to their expectations. Work your way up to such a DIY project or at least successfully change a tire before installing turbos! Not to mention that the turbo install is just one small piece of the puzzle. There are the maintenance and the inevitable trouble shooting of issues that goes with it.

or just start from basic stuff like replace wheel or oil change.

Just my 2-cents worth, but if that $2,000 included a tune and dyno, that sounds considerably more reasonable.

EAGLE5 · 09-21-2016, 04:05 PM

Or ride your bike.

Ultramaroon · 09-21-2016, 04:09 PM

Or fly your small plane

OH I watched a video on how to fly planes just the other day. Do you know where I can buy something cheap for me to fly this weekend?
