My early Xmas present, some billet bling/porn, :p

I lurk on the DSM forums and Talondave has maxed out the HX40 pro turbo, so they were looking for something bigger and found a company in Quebec that has a 66mm Billet extended tip HX40 wheel. Well having made a few bucks selling items, and wanting more flow at lower boost, I bit and bought this one. I'll spoon it on in January and report back. I was very dissapointed in my last wheel purchase but since found out its a high pressure wheel, 20 psi isn't in its sweet zone. Not sure if it will do the job but its worth a try.

I'll report on BP readings etc and how well she works, might have to spoon the 14cm housing on now.

That's a beautiful thing, starting to tear up!

That is certainly a thing of beauty! All 10 blades of it.

Nope, trying for this month, just super busy.

Did you not like the 7 blade KTS wheel or did you try another one after that?

The more I see that, the more it looks just like a S366 billet wheel.

Yes and no. I gave up too much down low and midrange but up top, it would let my engine rev like a 2 stroke. I didn't check DP readings so that might have something to do with it. A DSM Holset guru told me that wheel is a high pressure wheel meaning it needs to see 30+ psi to really wake it up, which for me, is not a wheel I need. The Volvo 56mm billet factory wheel outperforms it low and midrange for my application. Hoping the 66mm will give me the best of both worlds.

Good eye but remember, there's only one way to skin a cat, lol.

Not sure I'll actually try this, changed out my 56x86 for a cast 60x86 and its so much better, to take advantage of the 66mm I'd have to have my IP fuel curve changed, which I am not interested in doing.
