Default Boosting the ride

I have decided on getting my car boosted, i just dont know do i hve the time to do it LOL once it comes in ill have look at my plans of action before i do something stupid.
One of friends was selling his turbo kit from his xa previously and he had used it for bout 350miles on it. So, he decided to sell it to me for a price i cant refuse. so i decided to buy from him.
he said he there is no problem what so ever. i have also research online for instructions how to install it on my xa, but so far there is none. cause prices for installing and tuning is about $800 which is too much for it. so i decided to do it myself but no luck finding on how to. can you guys help on finding on how to install turbo kits for xa

fyi
the turbo kit was a customize made from turbotoyota with garret t22 turbo

i know its bolt on stuff but putting the gauges is the trippy part

in an xa the gauges should be cake compared to trying to fit anything in that tiny engine bay. do you guys have to pull the engine to work on it?

yanno, a good tune costs about $400-$500... so $800 for tune AND install is actually not that bad because they'll have to tap ur oil pan, redo ur vac lines for the gauge, and maybe even have to pull ur motor out just to put in ur turbo...

I know it's not the same kit, but I'm assuming a similar design. Look at the Greddy turbo install manual for guidance.
