Vf35 compressor upgrade
 
Is it possible to upgrade the compressor wheel and housing on a vf35?
Ive seen billet wheels on eBay, mamba, kinugawa and the likes. These any good?

Just been contemplating this for my TD05, from what ive read on a road car a billet wheel is not of much use really in the grand scheme of things, along with say, other parts to help spool etc then maybe but the billet wheel itself from what ive read, im not convinced over the cast one

It's hard to figure out without reading up on it for hours😂
I'm keen to upgrade but my turbo is in great condition. Been reading that using a billet wheel with 11 blades flows better than standard. Think the site I was on was PRE in the states. They claim good things but they all do. I can't seem to find any info on lager compressor housings and wheels like what would be available for your td05.
im also looking at doing this with a vf43 or vf48 and porting it.
Should mention that my owns ported already

Call central turbos 01332 202100 ask for Craig he builds all kinds of standard and hybrid turbos and would be able to advise you what's best. He runs his own Subaru rally car so knows what works on VF turbos

Not sure bud , this was a reply I got

A billet compressor wheel upgrade (19T is popular), upgraded 360 degree thrust assembly and a thorough overhaul is £395.00 + VAT and takes approximately 4 working days.

Was that with Craig?
im guessing that's pretty much a rebuild leaving you a pretty much new turbo.
I wonder what difference it makes on the car?
