I didnt i decided to just spunk part of my months wages and just get it done 
Definately reccomend saving up for it though. Depends how much you can put away each month etc as to how long it would take

Getting someone else to fit it would be much more expensive than doing it yourself lol
If your worried about the engine, why not go for a 1.6 for the time being?
