Unknown 20B Conversion

Has anyone used this guys 20B conversion, Autotech Motorsports in San Diego?

http://www.autotechmotorsports.com/projects-20bfd.htm

Here's some highlights from his website.

20B Single Turbo FD
Autotech Motorsports LCC has transplanted a 20B, with single turbo, into a 1995 RX-7. A 20B conversion has been done before. However what makes Autotech Motorsports LLC conversion unique is as follows:

The steering column and rack stays in place. No bump steer.
The engine sits 3-4 inches lower. Even lower than the stock engine.
The engine sits 6-7 inches backward into the transmission tunnel.
No cutting of the firewall was involve.
The shifter virtually stays in its stock location.

Thanks I was there but I don't remember seeing them. The only 20B I remember seeing was from Alamo Rotary.

Their car was real nice. The swap looked awsome. Run by a Microtech I think. They had some linkage that kept the stock tranny but moved the shifter forward to compensate for how far the engine sat back, way back. Didn't put out as much power as you would hope. They are also the guys who had a 4-rotor down there that were planning on putting it into an fd.

I talked to the guy and he stated that if you had a 20B already that he would drop into your car. I was thinking the idea setup would be MVA Motorsport 20B with it Autotech mounted for great balance and performance.
