Ebay Fg Billet Compressor Wheel?

[MA91CK]

The only thing I need to max my turbo out is injectors and retune... But is it gunna be a waste of 1000 bucks? Is there really that much difference between 290 and my turbo maxed out? I know ill want over 350, jus not yet.

As everyone else has said, don't bother with this. When you're ready, go GTX, make 400 at the wheels and sh*t yourself.

I am looking to update the compressors on 3 turbos so decided to look into this.

There are two main manufactures that seem to do alot of these wheels. KTS (Kawasaki) located in Malaysia and Kinugawa located in Taiwan. Although Kinugawa have a big ebay presence, they are related to KAMAK which apparently manufactures a OEM turbo and have OK review. Heard nothing much bad about the KTS either.

I would steer away from Chinese stuff though.

In the case of the TO4Z turbos I have I may go with a billet from one of the above. Probably around $300 landed in Aust each wheel.

With my GT35 I would be better off just getting a wheel and housing for a GTX at around $500. I was thinking of putting a GTX3582 wheel into my GT compressor housing but it wont fit. They come matched as a pair. The Garret GTX wheel is billet and can get for under $200.

There are also billet wheels made from the above two companies that fit directly into the 0.5 housing. Although of similar looking design to the GTX, since there are no flow charts I think too much pissing in the dark to get one of these.

So I wouldn't really knock these wheels even if they come from ebay. I think the two companies mentioned are of a pretty high standard now.
