Can you use a wrench? and have 2 jack stands. Save you money and diy, just pay to have it dyno tuned. The electrical isnt that hard either, the emanage install takes a little bit of time to do it right.

I am 17 years old and did the sf turbo kit all by myself and guess what everything is fine. I guess i would have paid 300 at most to have my kit installed its very easy. I also installed the greddy e-01 and boost gauge and air/fuel ratio everything is easier than i thought but i got scared with the e-manage so tomorrow i am having it installed and then dyno tuned.

I agree to diy i made a big deal about it thinking it would be impossible but it is really easy and hondas for some reason wont blow up no matter what you do to them so you can't screw it up lol.

I got a good deal on all the parts. I have been in the business for a while.

Im reaping the benefits of having powerful friends.

Theres also a lot more parts on the car i didnt list. I didnt want my sig to fill an entire screen. Its already long enough.

DIY cause when the sh*t hits the fan you'll know how it works and where all the possible problems are and you'll be bale to repair it on your own, which is a must unless your a big baller

so agreed. I coulda paid somebody to do it, but I had some friends who knew what to do basically do most of it, while I watched, hehe. But I learned a lot, and now when probs come up, I can fix them, know where to look, what to try to do, and help others on here at times.

but, you say your a baller, so whatever you want to do. It would be nice to be able to pay people to work on my car. but I pay for parts, and get hookups on installs at Midas (a friend works there and will do anything for hella hella hella cheap, like 20-30 dollar tip could get my clutch installed, slave cylinder, tranny mount, es motor mount bushings all for 20-30.), or have my friends help, which I usually do anyways.
