You could ask but the odds are they will not even know what either of those things are much less if it was included.

There are the maintenance and the inevitable trouble shooting of issues that goes with it.

don't forget to double your budget and your expected time if you don't know what you're doing....

EDIT: the install thread was created by exactly who I thought it was judging from some of their previous threads that have been in that section such as the ever present: "What turbo kit should i get" or "Turbo vs SC benefits"

Can we make it 5? I decided to go a bit more practical so I can bring the family. Not as fast but a fraction of the price. Think I could turbo it?

Oh just change your own oil and use cheap fuel. Anybody could do it.

Screw turbos, we need turbines.

I was thinking of doing an F22 engine swap. Anyone done one before? How much did it cost, I don't have much experience with airplanes but I've changed my car's oil before. Thanks in advance.

How did you get around the DOD clearance issues. I read that you just have to know someone
