So just chill out bro. There is no need to spout out like the way you did. If you had an issue with what he said, say it but discuss it...just be mature with your responses. Insulting people with curses and name calling isn't necessary and is lame (in my opinion).

In short: Do not remove the engine to install the turbo, simply because if your doing a custom kit, your going to need to route your charge piping with the available space in your engine bay. So your going to want to keep the engine there. However, your best bet would be to either A. Find somebody with a lift so you can get underneath the car if necesary, B. rig up a lift yourself with 2x4's high enough to comfortably work underneath your car, or C. goto one of those shops that allow you to use they're tools/lifts.
All in all, I hope it all works out for you.

That is like saying... So, How do you build a house...
Rather than... "I am installing a Plug... Got any tips"
The problem is that you have asked such a vague question about a subject that is multi-dimentional.
There is literally 50 Topics that I could talk about reference the turbo..
Fuel Delivery
Boost Level
Compression Ratio
Heat Soaking
Oil Delivery
Liquid Cooling
Water Injection
Pressure Maps
Selection Of Materials
Construction Of The Manifolds
Wasegate Selection
BOV Location
Plumbing Diameter
Plumbing Location
FMIC Theory
too me installing it isnt as bad as people are saying if you have a pre made kit it will make life easier, who gives a **** if it takes 25 hours, i bet youll be happier knowing you put 25 hours vs some punk ass kid putting 5 hours slapping it on, oil i would almost leave for the professionals jsut cuz i hate tapping in the oil, and so on, but everythign else can be done, i think a turbo system is like 2.5 stars out of 5 for an install
