I am going to be purchasing a 240sx in the next week or so and i have full turbo kit i need to have put on it and i am wondering if anyone knows where i should go to get it put in and how much would it cost me to have it all installed and running. Also how much down time would i be expecting. If you know where i could get this done please lmk, Thanx.

Dropping the subframe is quicker and easier.

Why not do it yourself man. I mean part of the passion of owning and modifying your car is taking pride in the fact you did it yourself. Turbo kits are not hard to install (after all, it all breaks down to one nut/bolt at a time). The hardest part is removing and tapping the oil pan but even that can be done in your driveway with a jack and jack stands. THis all assumes you have basic tools. If you don't, go buy some, cause your gonna need them eventually. I don't care what anyone says, owning a turbo (ex non-turbo) car is not just a simple oil change every 3000 miles.

I do know how to work on cars some but i was seeing if it would be easier to have some one else do it thats already knows what they are doing and yes i thought about doing it in my drive way because i looked into it and it doesnt look that complicated to do myself. Thanx for all the help so far guys.

just remember if you do decide to do it yourself, take your time and do things right the first time. It will save many headaches down the road. GL.
