Richard gave me a tour of their facility a few weeks ago (I have a hanger at Arlington airport where their facility is located).

IIRC it is indeed a stock turbo. But I don’t think they’ll be stressing it much. Their primary purpose for the turbo is altitude normalization – not just gobs of HP.

 

They did a great job on the installation.  That “big belt” that Rusty commented on is actually a whole bunch of ½” wide belts.
