Actually that's just a different compressor wheel. I assume you just use the stock turbine?

Yup, it's a "make your own hybrid"...

A guy with a turbo 1st gen just put this turbo on his car. http://www.winisp.net/gsl-se/gslse.htm

He dynoed 178rwhp with the stock turbo and 245rwhp with this turbo at 14 psi.

He changed nothing except the turbo.

He still needs to tune it and expects 275 RWHP when he's done.

Thats why I'm interested in it. Looks like a good easy upgrade to get some decent power.

Anyone know of a Knightsports distributor that might get this for me?

How much does it cost?

By anywhere else do you mean like Turbonetics?

What do they charge?
