The hard part for me was getting the turbo manifold to squeeze between the firewall and engine. It is a pretty tight fit even with the engine rocked forward, but it does fit if you take your time to work it in.
I was pretty overwhelmed when I opened the boxes and seen all the parts, but after I started, my confidence built with every part that I put on.
Before my turbo install, I had only done a CAI and exhaust on my Focus. My other experience included changing oil, rotating tires, and changing spark plugs. I am not very mechanically inclined at all, so I'd say that if I could do it by myself, anyone can do it.
Great group of guys/gals here to help you out when you run into problems. I had to call bryst06 a couple of times on his cell phone and he walked me through a couple of things. Thanks bryst06!
