Same wheel that t-man has, think it's a newer design. Look at his post 2 pages ago.

Guys, I've posted enough data to show that the turbo makes some great power. I've posted Vdyno data which is far from perfect or "set in stone" but can definitely be pretty accurate under the right circumstances and I made damn sure to keep as many critical variables the same. I've got nothing to gain by spending money and then trying to fool myself into believing that it was money well spent. Evo and MS3 communities swear by it.

At the end of the day, it is what is is. Like it or leave it, the upgrade is cheap and IMO, well worth it if you're not looking to poor money into some grandiose build.
Hmmm I wonder what I will get then I'm hoping it's that gen 2 k04r then

Great!! Ya Matt was talking about the 7 wheel compressor. He talks about so many turbos and upgrades it's really hard to keep track you basically need to take notes to keep up with him

He said only a few test units are out but no results have come back yet. he also told me it not a huge difference. He's running the 6 blade one

What kind of difference do you think 7 blades would make?
