    actually that depends on the parts and fitment. <br />
    <br />
    It took us 3-4 days to build an entire turbo system from scratch for my car - however that was doing a lot of the fab work on the fly. And that was also with 3-4 people working on it.<br />
    <br />
    I'd say a day for pulling your exhaust system, mounting the turbo manifold, turbo, wastegate, oil lines and fixing your exhaust system back up to match your downpipe.<br />
    <br />
    Then another day for getting your intercooler piping all correct. (if its not a prefabbed kit) <br />
    <br />
    Then allow that third day for possible problems and testing if the IC piping took too much time the second day. <br />
    <br />
    --<br />
    <br />
    It's VERY possible for it to take 3 days. If they said a week, yeah I'd be a little suspicious, but 3 days is allowing them time to breath. Don't expect too much more than that unless you have an entire crew working on your ride.
