    Hey guys I just had a question on how difficult it is to install these parts myself. I haven't done any of them before:

    3 inch turbo inlet (will it fit ok? or do I need to mod crap)
    fuel pump
    Injectors
    20g turbo (3 inch inlet, internal waste gate, 7cm housing)

    I've heard this stuff is pretty easy except the injectors. How much time should this all take about, assuming nothing is messed up?

    I'm looking to do this sometime early next week.

    Thanks!

    IIRC you will need to do TGV deletes in order to use a 3inch inlet turbo

    You'll end up having to pull the intake manifold which will give you GREAT access to do everything listed above, as well as the TGV deletes.

    Thanks for the input guys. Looks like i'm staying away from this for awhile b/c of time and money shortage. I barely have enough for the parts so I don't have a buffer if something goes wrong. I'll wait until the cash situation improves. Thanks again!
