This would be acceptable. It would be of interest to know the cost of the brand new unit and the estimated cost and availability of a used unit.
To make the conversion worthwhile, as Greg has pointed out, it would be of of vital interest to know, in detail, the performance of the vehicle, at specific boost pressures and EGT's prior to, and after, the kit was installed.
To make proper use of the kit is going to require an adjustment to the full load delivery screw on the IP. This is a bit of a task on the 617 and requires the removal of the oil filter housing for access. This adjustment
must be quantified and verified by the developer otherwise each individual purchaser is back into a research project. You don't want to install an $800. kit and gain .5 seconds in 0-60 times.
