These billet wheels can be purchased for about 100/piece directly from the vendor but is it really an upgrade ... interesting to see since I want to do a turbo upgrade/rebuilt at some point in the future to increase longevity/power.

For the price pure turbo is charging I would expect a full teardown, rebuild and balance, it would be morally wrong if they just toss in this compressor wheel and send it back.

Youtube has how-to videos on replacing the compressor wheel not difficult at all for a DIY'er.

670 WHP ?
