Wondering about turbos on 8G I4 es
Ok - I know someone pointed out a link to these guys before - but Im wondering if anyone has ever bought from them, and if so - how good the product is.

On top of that, how difficult is it to install a turbo/intercooler for a reasonably mechanical minded guy (ie. I install my own brakes, changed my suspension etc myself - but havent really done much on an engine aside from change an oilpan, plugs etc.). I would presume that the down time for the car would be at least a few days if not weeks or more. What special tools would be needed? An engine hoist?
Is it even worth the many headaches I am sure I am going to have?
If I was to go to a shop and get something like this installed - what sort of pricing am I looking at?
Anyone have any input? Btw - I did a search and read a lot of the posts but none really answered what Im asking.
Thanks
