the greddy install is actually very easy. the only thing that might be a pain is the turbo install on the manifold. There isn't much space, and you basically have to unbolt the passenger side engine mount, and using a car jack, lift up and lower the engine in order to make space for the turbo to fit.

Unfortunately I don't have recommendations for dallas shops.

im only seventeen my car is a 2005 rx8 and I am very good with motors such as complete rebuilds of go karts and lawn mowers, I have saved up 6,000 dollars and i was wondering if there is any tuning involved besides using a cobb acess port when putting in a greddy turbo, and what tools and equitment are needed

if you buy your accessport from mazdamaniac.com, he includes tuning with the purchase price.
