with as many swaps that are out there im sure you could find a step by step how to and just put a laptop in your garage connect to a wireless connection and there you go. i can promise you that doing your own swap is invaluable and you will learn more than you thought you could about your car.

While I may partially agree I still think this kid should have a knowledgeable friend help and oversee what he is doing.
Plus tools, garage, time, all components on hand...
What a pro can do in matter of a few hours a rookie may take a week or two....hell I remember garbage shops taking a month or two to finish swaps back in the day...ridiculous...they charged people 1000-1500 for a B series swap in LABOR
So these days you can pay a decent guy 300-500 for swap labor instead of taking a week on your own to figure it out....for a daily driven car....a week just isnt practical and getting something wrong with the wiring and check engine lights...even more time consuming.
I am all for DIY but with some common sense
