Default how easy is it to install a turbo kit?

anyone with experience can tell me how much difficulty is involved with an installation of a turbo kit on an integra LS. i am somewhat competent and i will have two of my roommates help me. are there any detailed instructions online, any other resources to check up on?

can you EASILY install aftermarket headers by yourself? can you change your own oil with your eyes closed?

if yes, you can do the turbo install without a problem.

Yeah its pretty much that easy. Just make sure you run all your vacuum lines right and you'll be fine.

save a weekend for it, and have spare car in case you break or need to get last minute parts....

im taking a 15 min break from doing my own first install myself, and i had never even changed my own oil. IF YOU GOT THE RIGHT TOOLS, READ HERE FOR A MONTH, YOU'LL DO PERFECT!

Make sure you have ALL the parts you need, and they are EXACTLY what you need. Not having the right parts, and not having all of them probably cost me 2 weeks time.

its a bitch to install. Ive done 3 installs so far. Ask Trigun on the board, it was a bitch no matter how many times you install a turbo kit.
