does this turbo seem worth it?

i came across this site and was reading about the x60 for 1950. compared to other kits for the 3rd gens this seems pretty in-expensive. i am planning on doing a streetport and was thinking about running 12-15psi on a single turbo does this seem to be a good choice? http://singleturbo7.com/

looks nice, but the dyno chart he has posted has some wicked turbo lag...

when you install it, post updates and let us know!! If the turbo lag isn't as bad as it looks, I might have to get one too..

that "basic BW turbo kit" is so cheap because he uses the junk on-center turbine housing and 4bolt discharge flange (no vband)

the bigger turbo seems pretty sweet though... i'd like to know the details of the turbo, seems very similar to that john deere switzer s300 that DR was debading and selling though.
