I know people normally flame Ebay stuff but I found this:

I just wanted to share this with the forum if anybody was looking for billet wheels as a bit of an upgrade for their regular turbo compressor wheel, even though they are kind of HIGH.

holy crap, for the amount of machining that goes into those they have to be loosing money.

you gonna trust the Tiwanese metal?

working for honeywell/garrett, i can tell u that that wheel if run as a single piece would run 1200-1300 bucks. if enough are run, then lead times change, and man hours change, and they can be run for 350-400. they might just be breaking even.

Billet is cool and all but if the R&D of the design/profiles isn't right they can actually hurt airflow...

Material " Aluminum Alloy " "O" material "T" material, who knows...

I had no plans to by any these, I was just letting the forum know about it. I'm not suggesting anyone to by them. Lol

benefit?

Billet can be machined thinner at the same strength as a cast wheel. The benefit is in better aero/higher compressor efficiencies.




I have no signiture

i would only by the Tial billet wheels. Been thinking about it for a while, nice lil upgrade to my GT30 wheel.
