Default Anyone willing to install my turbo in Socal for cheap??

I have a 00 hatch w/ a mini-me swap. I also have a apexi turbo kit that i want to put on. I dont have a garage nor driveway/ time or tools to install the kit myself. I was wondering if anyone in the socal area has the time to install the kit for me for a decent price??

The parts i have
-manifold/wastegate/turbo
-downpipe
-piping/bov
-intercooler

I dont have any oil lines but will provide them and i dont have management yet. Im planning on just slapping the turbo on for the meantime and running like 2lbs of boost until i can get management. I will also be running on my stock fuel injectors for the meantime.

I don't have a garage/driveway, but I likely have most of the tools you would need and wouldn't mind helping you if you're fairly close to me. If you wanna kick me down that's cool or you could just buy me lots of . If it gets to be a **** ton of work then I'll hit u up for some $$$. I say I will help you because I would rather you learn for yourself. It would be much more satisfying for you that way.

If I were you I would get everything I needed before even starting. You will definately forget something or need something to fix a part that isn't up to part or doesn't fit. Knock it out in one fell swoop if you know what I mean. Is this your dd?? If so, this should be done on your days off or over a weekend.

For example....
-Does the dp fit perfectly, both in the bay and does it match up to your exhaust?
-Do you have a tapped/welded bung on your oil pan??
-Have you taken your bumper off to see what will be needed to mount your ic??
-Is this an ac compatible mani/turbo, are you keeping ps as well??

Anyway, hit me up and maybe I can help you out.

HOW much dough??? cuz i once got quoted 500 bucks to install a motor back in the dayz???? i think you get what you pay for. i am more trying to look out for you. if you do not have the money do not do it. wait till you can do the job right/legit. if someone paid me i.e. $300 to install a turbo kit, even though 300 bucks is alot of money, divid that by 15 -25 hours cuz i would not give a S*it, if sockets fell on the fenders, oh well, and clutch fluid, oh well... there is alot of things involved in a turbo installation most especially the f*ken oil pan ...welding...

but if someone paid me like $X00 i would offer you diet pepsi, reiny cherries... and even use my craftsman fender cover....

basically, dont be cheap....
