yes, i understand that. i like to install my parts as well and do the majority or the time. but with something as important as a turbo swap on a brand new car. you should have someone that knows what they are doing do it. yes it will cost you more, but then you will be sure it will get done right, and not going into it blind and potentially **** up your car.

make sure you purchase a fire extinguisher (just in case)

Good morning SRiC. More wiring for me today. I sure am glad they finished putting the subroof on the garage last week as it kept the sun (and some of the heat) off of me all day yesterday.
