Anyone wanna help turbo install on Friday?

I'm going to be installing a bunch of stuff starting friday (3 gauges, turbo, injectors, and fuel pump) and just wanted to see if there was anyone who would like to help. I can't really pay anyone to help me as I'm broke as a joke =P but if you're bored and have nothing to do, lmk.

Sounds like a great project, but too far away for me. Have fun!

Man, I'm really close to you, too bad I have company in town this weekend for the holiday.

If you put it off another week I'll be glad to lend a hand.

Cut them? Just have some patience. Ratcheting box end wrenches will be your friend. I did it without and it still wasn't that bad.

Sounds like someone needs an "early Christmas present".

Will it really benefit me to buy a ratcheting end wrench? What size bolts are on the GBOD?

you will need a fairly complete set of tools to complete this install properly.

Check this HowTo at ScoobyMods with a list of tools:
