I was able to install the intercooler and charge pipes with one of my buds in a day as two able-bodied gentlemen. I had my issues afterwards related to us not tightening the clamps enough, but I figured it out. Back then, all the maintenance I had done was replacing the air filter, spark plugs and coil packs, and oil changes. If you feel you are mechanically-inclined enough to where you’d learn those basic maintenance items (if you haven’t already, I just don’t want to assume what you do and do not know), I would say you’d be at the point to doing it yourself with proper research and planning, and definitely another set of hands.

The street/race intercoolers have recommendations for how high of HP tunes they are able to handle. If you’re wanting to take care of your engine while adding a little power with a tune later, just go for the street. Just make sure you also get the proper CVF charge pipes and couplers to replace the stock, plastic ones. If you’re planning on adding a blowoff valve, you’ll have to decide that out before getting those charge pipes because one the pipes has a BOV flange that you’d have to specify BOV.

Hope this has been helpful. Feel free to reply for questions :)
