turbochargers.com stage 2

does anyone have any experience with the Turbochargers.com Stage 2 CT26 upgrade, i emailed them about it and they upgrade both wheels of the turbo, this sounds like a pretty good deal to me since it costs 750($100less) than ATS CT27 (850)

But the exhaust portion of the CT27 is machined out to allow power to redline. I don't think ATS would put all the money into R&D if turbochargers.com was already selling one. Turbochargers.com also says it is probably capable of 600hp or some jazz.

i know that it wont produce near those numbers, honestly i would want a significantly better turbo for those numbers but the fact that they upgrade the exhaust wheel appeals to me a great deal, it would be nice if someone has used this turbo or the company had a project car, the only reason im not dead set on either one is the fact that ive never had any experience with either company and i know that many of us on here are biased towards the ct27 due to the fact that there are administrators on many MR2 boards who work for or represent ATS, but honestly wouldn't upgraded be better than machined? see i dont know thats why i asked, there was a way to compare the two, side by side, that would be amazing and very helpful, plus IF you all could get a better turbo (not that it is) for cheaper, wouldn't you want to know all the details?
