I thought that description sounded a lot like SBR's, so I went to the site and sure enough they are reselling SBR turbos. Looks like they mark them up a bit. 100 bucks on that turbo Jsut a heads up. Also, I dont like how they say the EVOIII 16g is the rarest turbo on the planet, when SBR had 20 of them sitting on the showroom floor when I drove down there last week. Sounds like hype. But at any rate, on to the turbo...

So that is a big wheel. Like the description says it is the largest wheel in the GT30 family, and is pratcially a GT40 wheel. In fact, you can get that same GT14 wheel with the GT40 turbine wheel, labeled the GT35R. It will lag. I have that compressor wheel in a Mitsu TDO6H setup right now, 7cm housing, "cyclone" compressor cover. I get full boost (25 psi on pump) at 4400 rpm. So its laggy. But its not bad. And it has a lot of potential when one is ready to take advantage. To take full advantage you need every part in the book. Professionally worked head, full 272s, sheetmetal intake, etc. It gets complicated, hence thier "for those who are brave enough" comment

When I get some time I can continue my write up above with the GT line of turbos, since they are a whole new animal...
