Do you have welding equipment? Do you know how to weld? Do you know the ins and outs of a turbocharger and how to properly plumb it? These are all the things you need to ask yourself. I had a customer two weeks ago who tried doing his own turbo kit on his car (I sell a kit on my website for ~$4000), to save some money. He did not know how to weld (so EVERYTHING was clamped together), did not know how to properly route piping (He had his diverter valve on backwards), and had no understanding of how the turbo system worked (this list would take a week to type). He drove 10 miles on his turbo set up before he blew a rod out the front of his block. Do it right the first time. It is okay to admit that you don't have the ability to make something from scratch. Not everyone can. Which is why the kits exist. The bolt on kits for these cars are VERY easy to install. Hardest part is tapping the oil pan, but there are about 129735974 how-to's for that on here.
