I really think you should try it yourself. Brewing coffee maybe a little harder than installing the popcharcher. YOU CAN DO IT !!!!

Dude, a freakin monkey could install the popcharger! Shame on you for even thinking about not doing this install yourself. Not only would it be embarrassing as heck, but it would also be a complete waste of $$ to pay someone to install it for you. You can do it, just read the instructions.

If you were in my area, I would help you out it only takes around 30min or less. Try to find someone who can help you out, or do it yourself. Really it's not hard at all to do.

I had my mechanic do it for me. He charged me $40. I probably could have done it if I tried, but I'd rather pay $40 for someone to do it right. I'm not too mechanically inclined and I have a short fuse. I had visions of me throwing the pop charger through my bay window. Or I could see myself breaking something by accident, as I don't know my own strength.

Don't feel badly if you have someone do it for you. Just go to a reputable guy. It shouldn't be more than $50. Just have him show you how to take the filter out to clean it, assuming that you are not handy and you cannot figure it out. Good luck.

Yeah, not a hard install....if you don't have the time or the tools, then someone should charge approx 1/2 hr labor.

I chose not to put on my UR full pulley set, because it wasn't worth my time or the risk I'd break something....(I broke a tensioner when I did the same install on my old car) a local shop charged me $100. Worth it to me. Choose your battles I suppose.

That's exactly what my mechanic charged me, 1/2 hour labor.

it is very easy. the only part i didnt enjoy was attaching the screws to the snorkel. then again, it was starting to get a bit dark and i was in my parking garage. otherwise, it would have been much easier.

too bad you dont live in hawaii. i would help you. together, we could just fly through it.

I think a banning may be in order.

You should really do this yourself.
