(cartridge has minimal shaft movement).. a new cartridge or.. a new turbo..?? I know what would be cheaper..!! but I have a few questions..1- what turbos are a direct bolt up..?2- the .7 housings use the 706451-5015 cartridge with 4in inlet.. will this fit my turbine housing..?3- should I go garrett or to4z or similiar4- has anyone had good/bad experienes with cheaper less well known brands and which are recommended.?5- what is acceptable shaft movement..?I can get a GT3582R with .7 housing, 4in inlet, 2.5 in compressor out, but it has a .63 4 bolt turbine housing fitted for external wastegate for $750 less than 24hrs use on it.so was tossing up to mix and match my turbine housing and that compressor.. then I would need a tune.. or just buy the wheel and take my cartridge in have it fitted and balanced...?

I bought a billet alluminium 3582R compressor wheel and installed it whilst turbo still on the car.No balance at all.It runs beautiful. The turbo is so much quieter on shut down and much smoother spinning. The billet ally must balance up much better than cast wheels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOT AWAY WITH JUST REPLACING COMPRESSOR WHEEL.. THANX TO ATS IN ADELAIDE.. oops caps lock.. there is some truth in what turbotrana said.. had it fitted and spun up on vsr balance and it was balanced without touching it...

I guess the chux superwipe sort of done me a favour as I wouldnt have been any the wiser.. a new comp wheel is far cheaper than a new cartridge...! so to any others having the earls kits fitted, make sure u ask if the factory filter was removed completely..
