Soooooo Garrett's finally putting Billet wheels on production turbos?

 

[92tsiawdguy]

only on some. Where they feel it will help the most. It costs alot for them to mill the wheels. I spoke to them at sema this year.

Too little, too late and still too expensive.

As if Holset and FP mill their wheels for free.

Of course the turbos will cost more, but in exchange you're getting a turbo with a more durable compressor and (hopefully) a compressor that performs better than a cast stocker. Time will tell.


What the hell's up with "11 full-blade design for improved efficiency and ultra quiet operation"? Are there REALLY people out there that don't want to hear their turbocharger screaming?

I had talked to them about these turbo's. NOBODY is going to spend that kind of money on a turbo. I remember when I was down at Full-Race over a year ago looking at the new Airwerks/BW turbo's and even when billet wheels were new I wasn't even going to pay anything close to half of that for a s366. I see this product line failing horribly.
