They won't. You need to order a kit.

because they won't do anything that could potentially void the warranty. besides, they would charge up the ass to do it even if they would... just read up and install it yourself

All dealers will deny you installation for the turbo kit because:

1. Its not their parts

2. They dont do custom work no matter how easy it is.

Have a local performance shop do it if you insist on getting it done (this will be expensive). You will most likely still have to buy the parts/kit yourself. They will charge you installation (probably by the hour) and tuning of it (credits for HP tuners and also by the hour).

He has a point there.. I can promise you the OP did zero research before posting a thread. There are dozens of builds and how-to's on here.
