Default SFR level 2 ball bearing turbo?? Any1 using it?

Does anyone own a Speed Force Racing Level 2 ball bearing turbo? If so, do you like it? Any comments, pro, or con from anyone with experience with this turbo would be appreciated. I'm thinking about purchasing it. Is it a bolt in, or would I need to modify things. I still have an AFM, would that cause a problem?

Heres the info from their website:


Level 2

These turbos have produced over 350 horsepower at the wheels (420 at flywheel) at 18 psi on stock 2.5L motors. You can make much more power then this if you increase the boost pressure. Of course you need the proper amount of fuel to go along with all this extra air as well as typical upgrades like mass-flow, test pipe, boost control, etc.....These turbos feature a 2.75 inlet. Typically full boost is realized at 3000 rpms.

SFR Level 2 turbo upgrade - $1199.99
SFR Level 2 ball-bearing turbo upgrade - $1499.99

Thanks!!

I bought the car off someone else, so how would I know the exact details especially if I didn't purchase or install it.

I usually run 15psi daily, I hit full boost around 3500, and full torque at 3800.

At 18psi I can hit 322 easy.
