It depends on your fabrication skill level.

I would ask for an out-of-town customer reference, and contact him to ask how it went.

I don't quite like how they have the turbo mounted upside down. Makes me curious as to how they've got the oil routed now.

Yes, that is what they did. It looks like their design is based on VtekEater's conversion.

That said, I have not heard of anyone every buying from that company. Personally, I wouldn't risk sending them any money. Their specifications are a little weird, and their testing procedure is suspect.
