TJ,

I've dealt with them for several years, ever since they took over support for the Tiico conversions.  Very knowledgeable in all things I-4 (no experience with WBX's with them), and very helpful.  They've been stand-up guys in all my dealings.  Their products are not inexpensive, but top notch in engineering and construction.  You'll definitely get great support from them.  Although my Tiico is running fine now (with their upgraded ECU and O2 mods), I'm working with Jon to do an ABA conversion with small turbo this year, just 'cause I'm ready to get a few more ponies, and to be comfortable that I have a bullet proof bottom end.  The Tiico was a hit or miss proposition relative to build quality, and mine was a very early version with none of the bugs worked out yet.
