Already own a hybrid TO4B, want to upgrade compressor/trim housing.

I have a Panspeed S5 turbo hybrid with a TO4B compressor housing. I am not sure of the trim type(300-315hp max out of this @15 psi if any help) and my inlet A/R is .60

What I want to do is keep my turbo a hybrid but put on a more capable TO4B compressor housing. Some where around a 70 to 80 A/R and a different wheel trim.

Anyone know what the specs are for the BNR stage three? I want power around those numbers. If anyone knows of any other compressor combo on a S5 turbo that is applicable with the stock exh manifold it would be appreciated. I am looking on Garrett's website and am trying to see if it is worth it to build my own.

Thanks guys.

With my VERY limited turbo knowledge I would suggest it's a "V" trim--which I think is the basic 'hybrid standard', although that's just a guess.

I'm pretty sure I'm running a similar turbo.

You really need to take it to a competent turbo shop to have the turbo balanced.
You can't expect to swap the compressor wheel and expect it to magically balance?
Balancing everything ensures long life.

To differentiate the wheel trims, you need to measure the major and minor wheel diameters and cross reference them to a chart...
