That turbo can't be in very good shape since he has had the kit on for 6,500 miles, boosting at 5 psi, without a functioning blow off valve (compressor surge).
I also found it stange when I saw what seems to be a dual stage Turbo XS boost controller laying on the intercooler pipes. I could understand running a boost controller to bring the boost pressure back up to 8 psi when running a large front mount intercooler but he isn't even running 8 psi. I thought the whole purpose of a dual stage boost controller is to run low psi from a launch and then the selenoid kicks the boost to full once the car is moving to avoid breaking the tires loose. This all seems a bit unnecessary for his *5 psi*.
His story/setup seems a little strange - buyer beware!
