DIY for Greddy turbo?

Has anyone installed a Greddy turbo themselves? Mazdamaniac used to have install instructions, but the site is down.

(Yes, I am sick of driving an underpowered car)

I have... now I have a scar on my right eyebrow... be prepared for a lot of cursing and hope you have small hands (mine are not that small). "They" said the install should take 10-15 hours... I've spent way more since I made the dremmel cuts for the ECU cover all pretty as well as the intercooling piping locations.

It can be done... with a compressor, 3 jacks, a lot of lugs.

Quite a few people on here have, myself included. There are two great threads detailing the install.
