I decided I was ready for a turbo upgrade and after checking with the 2 popular turbo companies I was unhappy with the cost and time frame needed to get this upgrade done, so I reached out to my man Reed at Work Turbochargers for help, we decided on a 52 mm compressor wheel upgrade as the best compromise between flow and response for my combination, if you are looking to upgrade your turbo we now have another option available down in Alabama.

Pardon my ignorance, but did you replace the entire turbo, or simply change out the compressor intake wheel / impeller? I've changed out turbos, but never considered changing out the intake or exhaust fan blades (or whatever jargon they are known by).

I purchased a used turbo from a scrap yard and sent it in for a cold side intake wheel upgrade
