If you want cheap!!!! Go to the junkyard and get yourself a fan from an early 90's Ford Taurus!!! All you have to do is drill two holes in the rad support to mount and it fits perfect!!!

I got mine(twin 10") from Summit. Think I paid about $60 apiece. Although not Black Magic, they pump 900+ cfm apiece. Keeps my Turbo cool enough. Very easy to install if you know basic wiring.

The question is it easy has still not been answered.
1. Removing the existing fan and cowl- relatively easy with stock tools you should have in your kit, repair manual such as Haynes not required.
2. Fitting the new fan- simple if you have picked the right secondhand part , just bolt in place or fit brackets.
3. Wiring the fan- extremely easy to wire just connect to any live feed- more difficult if you want to insert temperature control switch unless you have a little knowledge of wiring and some common sense.
Overall level of difficulty- simple modification
Time to undertake- two hours
Tools required- basic mechanics set
Cost - under $30 if good secondhand part available
Result- should be about 2-3 gain in hp
