Yea I'm definitely doing everything I can at home. If it requires taking out the engine I'll take my car in.

Deals always balance against the "you get what you pay for" rule. When my radiator cracked I eBayed an aluminum one. It turned out to be the same thing as Mishimoto without the logo. Love it.
As for things I did wrong. I installed LED turn signals without resistors or dielectric grease. I had to go back in 4-5 times trying to figure it out.
As long as you dont mess with your fuel air ratio or electricals it's hard to F up.

I am going to reiterate on cheap parts. And no I'm not a JDM ***** that buys overpriced parts.
Bought cheap-o test pipes ($170 TOP SPEED brand) that required my time + 2 trips to a shop to fix. Also on cheap no-brand intakes which fell apart at the rubber piece where the pipe meets the filter element. These also had a poorly fitting adapter for the PCV hose.
Buy a brand that is proud to put their logo on their parts, while being functional and within budget limitation.
