Turbo Self Install or not?
I've posted a few times about different turbo setups for my 2000 Hybrid B18C1 Coupe, and I think I've narrowed it down to two choices (take in mind, they won't be on for a long time), either FMAX or Rev Hard. But in any case, I was wondering... how many of you who have a turbo setup did the install on your own... was it a kit and if so, was it an easy install? I was debating wether or not to just take it somewhere to get installed, but I could save like $750-1,000 by doing the install on my own and not boosting to the shop where I could get it tuned for like $150. Opinions?

yep installation is cake with the proper knowledge, the correct kit and the right Extra part if needed. hardest thing is drilling into ur current exhaust manifold if ur not planning on using a specially made turbo exhaust manifold

I've helped install a turbo kit on a 99 EX and it's not hard at all. Just remember to drill your oil lines, we almost forgot to do that and was like "Hmm an extra hose how nice".
