I would not recomend installing a turbo on an automatic, it will not live long with the added power. Straight pipes will be way too noisy. Before installing, the motor should be in tip-top shape with a recent tune up and the cooling system should not have any problems like leaks, old hoses etc. All of the engine systems should be working properly and correctly adjusted. It is more difficult to diagnose engine problems with the turbos added. The trubo set-up can be done by an advanced novice but is best done by someone with some experience. Perhaps the hardest part will be putting the fittings into the block and removing the old exhaust system.
