Absolutely NOT, you need the following:

1x United States Aircraft Carrier
2x Packs of 20 chopsticks
1x Flux Capacitor
3x Cyborg Armies
1x a Brain....

Oh and maybe a Google search of turbo installation / general turbo build information / turbo kit installation would yield good results.

just let them do it. sure i bet a lot of people could do it. but if something breaks or a problem arrises. it'll be something they can fix and take care of in a couple minutes versus something that might take you a few hours. (or days if its a part that has to be shipped)

I am sure with good documentation(i.e. pics) of the install they wouldnt have a problem warranting something. I would be more worried about you messing something on install/startup.

im not trying to come of as a douche, but if you have to ask if you can install it yourself. it means you are more then likely not confident enough in yourself and needed the second opinion on the forum. I personally would rather save my cash for an extra bit to pay someone to do it; as im not comfortable myself. Most major cities have a preformance shop around and should be able to do it for you, spend the hour or so phoning around and get a quote. Most places charge by the hour and a turbo on a LE5 takes about 5-7 hours. Also if someone reputable does it for you and something goes wrong they have to fix it, as opposed to you feeling miserable and then doing hours of research to find out what went wrong. Play it safe man.
