    There's a place with a dyno about 10 minutes away...they charge 60 per hour but I have no idea how to use dyno or tuners...I'm new with this high stuff on my car

    But my biggest concern is the actual install of the turbo

    If you have to ask, then you are more than likely not ready for this kind of leap into the modding world.

    Put it this way, you are going to sink a ton of money into this car and hope everything works.

    Yes there is a kit for a turbo, but you will still have to do lots of custom fab work and brain storming to even make things fit and work correctly. Without having the knowledge of what may be going on how could you do trouble shooting if something went hay wire?

    Reading is always good but but when it comes to getting your hands dirty thats a whole nother ball game.

    I'm not trying to pick on you, but I'm just going off of what I see.

    your seeing it correctly...i have not attempted anything like this before im just good with my hands. i have to learn some way and dont see anywhere else to start to be able to learn. I mean im still awhile out from purchasing it but id like to feel comfortable enough to do it within a year or so. This is going to be my learning car and i want to start getting into modding alot more. Ive done alot of research on here but theres only so much you can learn without having someone actually here and showing me.

    I like the criticism and just want to learn how to do more

    honestly if u buy the complete kit from kevin, its not like making a pb and j sandwich but its not rocket science either, even with kevin he provides support to get theses kits hooked up. would be alot easier with more hands. it does come with complete instructions to set up, easiest thing is to take as much stuff out of the engine bay as possible to make room from things. for tuning the car if you have to go and by and extra pcm and send it to him to have it tuned.
