Yes. $100 cheaper, no core charge, brand new and not known to be unreliable.

100k miles for a few with zero issues what do I need to verify.
I have over 22k miles on my built motor that I race and dd jut it never tows so mine will more then likely never have a oil temp issue.
This is why I hate the stealth turbos very few work like advertised
Danville, sdp and htt all have great drop ins that do what they are supposed to
I guess the obvious thing to verify with an oil temp gauge would be oil temp. If you don’t think it is necessary, that’s fine, but don’t act like people are stupid because they have seen a need for it.
The parts Frogman was selling/getting rid of are in their own thread in the Marketplace now:

Here's how the hsp kit I have is done. I kind of like it but it is a pain if you wanna quick take the filter off. It's in there pretty tight.
Mine looks almost exactly like that
Something bugs me about drilling holes in my frame so I’m just gonna leave it under the hood where it’s easy to access

Alright so an update to the Stealth situation. Spoke with Joey yesterday at DT and then spoke with Anthony again this morning about sending the turbo back and getting a full refund after the issues I've had from ordering the hybrid, to settling for the 64, to having BTD have to buy a new VPS sensor and the P003A code.
Brittany called me this morning to update me that not only am I being refunded the whole amount for the Stealth, but they are sending me a return shipping label for it so I don't have to do anything but pull it out and box it up. Also, with the core already having been sent in, they are refunding me the core charge as well. So after all of this with ordering the Danville 2.5 TCT, powdercoaating the cover, ordering the hot side intercooler pipe and having it powdercoated, I basically break exactly even give or take $50. Only thing is I will have to get the old turbo out and get the new turbo in on my own which sucks but it's my only option at this point. Brittany and Jason have been great throughout this whole ordeal and I really appreciate all they're doing behind the scenes to help me get my truck finished up. Thanks WCFab.
Also, I have a vibration that comes through the steering wheel when turing about 30-45 degrees to the right. Turns out the driver side HSP manifold is just barely touching the steering column and I will have to take the steering column apart as I believe it is a 2 piece and is just one bolt to remove, and dremel the manifold just a tad to keep it from rubbing/vibrating and driving me crazy. I also have a resonance vibration throughout the truck just off idle at about 750RPM. The balance rates are basically 0 all around and if you grab the exhaust under cab when it's resonating, you can really feel it in your hands. I tend to believe nothing is rubbing it's just a resonance caused by the engine at that RPM echoing throughout the cab and exhaust. Nothing I can do about it really.

My HSP hot side pipe was hitting my master cylinder when I backed up causing an ungodly vibration.

I had the same issue with the driver side manifold hitting the steering shaft with Rick from ProFab’s 2 1/4” pipes. Seems like the NBS LMLs have just a touch less clearance there than the OBS LML.
I’ve heard that the whole thing with the vibration just off of idle is fairly common with compound kits.

^^, I've read about guys having their idle raised a little to combat this issue.
The off idle doesn’t bother me that much it’s just the steering column that bothers me because not only is it a vibration but it makes a pretty loud noise and when I’m on a large sweeping right turn you can really hear it. I suppose it’s an easy fix and nothing my Dremel can’t take care of in a few minutes.
