So here is my question... I have mild-moderate mechanical knowledge...

I installed all the components on my Z myself (exhaust, intake, oil cooler, etc)... also have worked on other cars I have own doing things like clutch/flywheel replacement, engine pulls and reinstalls, nitrous kits, motor mounts, etc.

Is installing a turbo kit something a moderately mechanically inclined person could do? I am nervous about the possibility of blowing my engine as I am not experienced with forced induction. Can I basically do the install and leave the boost inactive and have it tuned to the proper PSI? As you can see I am pretty elementary with this stuff.
