Arrow Turbo Install feeler

Whats up?
Just posting this as a feeler to see if there are any of yall out there with experience installing a turbo. Seriously considering turboing my Lancer when I get back to VA this spring, and don't want to pay the prices shops are quoting me. I've got access to a full garage ie: lifts, tools, etc.
Lemme know if any of yall would be interested in helping me out and earning a little extra cash. PM if you're interested. Thanks

That makes too of us. Hoping to find someone on here with enough experience installing turbo's in general to help out. How long did the install take on the Eclipse?

I haven't got it yet. Its going to most likely be a Road Race Motorsports kit. T-28 if I'm not mistaken. It should be a bol ton affair but I've never done it. Any interest in helping out?

eclipse one took 6-8 hours cuz it was me and a buddys first time. it got dark after a few hours so we did half of it in the dark which didnt help making it go faster. Plus we had some problems wiht having the right parts. It wasnt to bad though..

I'm looking at Pro-Motion tuning if I do it myself. So far they seem to have the best price quote and their customer service seems pretty good too.
