To my knowledge, they are just another Turbo maker. I believe they make turbos used in semi engines (Air Research Super-60) so I assume they make good quality products. Also, the 3-rotor available at racing beat uses an Air Research turbo.
Edit: this guy used that turbo on a Ferrari top speed car: http://bobnorwood.com/Terminal%20Vel...the%20Salt.htm Check out the engine specs about halfway down.
