Evo III 16G with 20G compressor wheel

[DSMunknown]

I'm wondering why there is not much (if any) discussion on trying to fit larger compressor wheels into this 16G housing. Perhaps the vast majority of Evo III 16G turbo owners are unaware of this possible "upgrade"? You can see that this product can be bought in the link below:

Now obviously no one in their right mind would purchase this for $1400. You would be just crazy. But I still don't see why there is not a whole-heck-of-a-lot of discussion about such a possibility. Can anyone clue me in?

Pretty sure enough people know about them, but they are pretty middle ground between a EvoIII16g and a 20g. My guess is no one really buys them because a Evo III 16g or 20g fit their plans fine. Another reason is their reliability. Of the 3 people I know that have run one on their DSM, two have had the turbo blow up... literally. IIRC, the turbos physically separated into several pieces and took a lot of shit with them. I was looking into them for a while but that piece of info was enough to turn off that idea.

FYI, SBR sells them as a "Bastard 20g" for like half the price of that site you were looking at.
