for the price you can't beat the only thing is the reliability.... they don't like high boost and start puking oil!

You could say that again!!

But the turbo looks great and 15Psi should get you into the 13's with ease with your setup.

As near as I can tell, they yanked the stock compressor wheel, stuck on a larger one, and machined the aluminum compressor housing so it would fit. Also did a 10-degree clip on the exhaust side.
