As it stands it doesn't look like it will fit a RHD.

I don't know whether it's true (because of the source), but I was told that the RHD models' ECU is different enough from the LHD models that the tuning solutions do not work on it. If not, it might mean an ECU swop, which will add to the costs.
Regardless of its LHD nature, it looks like a good quality kit. I don't have experience with Precision Turbo but I have heard good things about them.
My only concerns would be how much the airflow to the radiator and transmission cooler would be affected by the intercooler, how to get a snorkel attached to it and whether I would need different/stronger diff gears and axles.
BTW I always have to laugh when tuners label something "stage 2" when you don't need "stage 1" or in this case, there isn't even a stage 1. Why not just call it the higher performance option?!

Perhaps because Stage 1 is understood to be no intercooler, while Stage 2 is widely understood to have one. (Due to prior usage.)
And Stage 2 is shorter to write than higher performance option... 
Have you considered one of the supercharger options instead? Turbos usually, (depending on the exact system design), work to give more power at the top end, but a JK, 3.8 or 3.6, benefits more from low to mid range torque. This is, also usually, better provided by a supercharger. Particularly Roots or screw type blowers.

Gidday Banshee,
Looking at both superchargers & turbo,s mate, just doing some research at the moment, working out what is going to be best for me, tech changes so quickly these days hard to keep up with

And, unfortunately, many are designed with LHD in mind & don't fit RHD properly.
Step one in my book, is work out what I want it to do, then look for what fits the desired end.
Turbos are good at developing power higher in the rev range, mid to high, mostly. They can be made for bottom end, but tend to 'run out of puff' at the top. That's why high end vehicles use twin turbo. One is designed to spin up fast & boost bottom end, and the other spins up with higher gas flow & boosts the top. The centrifugal superchargers work best at higher revs as well, due to the impeller design.
