They have already done one set of the turbo's, but since it's on their own car they feel as if it won't be credible just yet so they want a second vehicle to confirm/credit the results.

I was originally offered the set of turbo's, but due to the labour cost involved in the swap I passed up on them. If I had the ability to do a turbo swap on my own I'd give them the green light tmrw to send me the turbos and I'd report back to all of you.

With what they are saying they do to the turbo's it sure sounds like there would be some gains. Sometimes I feel like going ahead and just sending them some OEM turbos to do the upgrade and then just cover the install labour, but other times I feel like for my car it won't be worth it due to the 6at.
If the shop already did it, then they should have some comparison pictures, some stats on flow capability, pre and post dyno's, etc.
