Well it’s not that easy! But if you are pretty good with doing a lot of small detailed work it shouldn’t be too hard for you. I am a F/A-18 Power Plant Technician so it is a piece of cake for me. Good luck with the install I am sure you will be fine.

Does anything have to be done to a stock engine or tranny (A4) before installing a charger like that, or can the stock setup handle the extra power. Just wondering
