Agreed that you can install the Stillen kit yourself with the car on the ground. I spread out my install over a few days, working a few hours each day. I custom mounted a larger water intercooler, and also installed an oil cooler and radiator at the same time. I think it took me a week in total, but that included a couple days of not really doing anything on it. If you have the skills to do it (no special skills or tools required), then I'd strongly suggest you do it yourself and take your time. Aftermarket forced induction is some fiddly stuff, so if anything comes up, you'll have the confidence to fix it yourself. If you have a shop do it the first time, you will be going back to the shop countless times anytime something weird happens. In the end, it will cost you a lot more than just the initial install cost. Just my thoughts on it.
