Default How long does it take to install a turbo kit?

I'm getting the impression that it takes a week staring at the car, another week taking the old stuff out, another to put the new stuff in and then finally another week to install the ECU after it's been flashed...

If it's your only car, it better go fast. My friend did his turbo kit in his RSX in 7-8 hours with 1 friend helping. turbo, FMIC, injectors, downpipe, manifold, fuel rail, loading the new map, etc.

I'm just loosely observing the operations of a shop that's doing work to friends' cars. As of right now, we're right on schedule with what I stated in my first post.
