which trim compressor wheel is this?

After reading Hypertek's thread about building a hybrid turbo, and my own turbo starting to go out on me; I've decided to build my own hybrid.

I've got a spare s4 turbocharger sitting around, and a full t3 rebuild kit on the way from gpop.... so I need a backing plate, the housing and a compressor wheel. I found this wheel for sale from a supplier, it says to4b to4e... but doesn't specify a trim. Any clues?

Comes very close to a v-trim. FC3Spro has a very thorough guide. http://www.fc3spro.com/TECH/TURBO/tmodels.html

I wouldn't waste my time with an S-trim wheel. That'll barely outflow the stock compressor.

Also, it's much easier to just find a complete used T04b to steal parts from. A matching compressor cover can be very difficult to find by itself, and new ones go for over $200 from Turbonetics. Garrett provides almost no info on old model parts like T04b stuff.

www.turbocharged.com has good prices on turbonetics stuff. a brand new 60-1 wheel, hi-fi cover, and a matching backing plate is under $200 shipped. this would bolt up to stock turbo center
