I don't have any direct experience, but their feedback looks pretty good.

they are good, they do good work, and are reliable. They work about 30mins from where i live. I have never had a problem.

So this is a direct bolt on upgrade. How much power is it good up to? Any specs on it? It comes with an external wastegate as well?

Looks like it. I see HT18 on the side of the turbo. In the first pic I believe it's a before and after.

Yes, it's a compressor upgrade or hybrid.
The machine out the stock compressor housing and backing plate to fit the larger wheel in it - it's typical.

I dunno what a "50mm" compressor wheel is, but it's not that big.
