Compressor Clearance question

Ive heard figures greater than .5m will lose noticeable efficiency? and noticed more on diesel engine apparently?
Theres great efficiency gains to be made apparently with tighter tolerances between wheel and cover. so generally tighter bearing tolerances are needed to reduce that gap.
At the end even with that gap it will probably blow enough air to make boost and decent power. give it a whirl

.6a/r cover is to4b cover. So is H trim wheel.. It looks like its just been badly profiled...
Unless he means he’s replaced the super trim T04B 60-1 wheel with an H trim????? that would be a no no for sure....

The 60 trim cover is a 2.950 major/ exd. I think you have an H wheel thats 2.75 major/exd. Thats why the exducer is so loose, pretty big gap there. From the photos and the info thats what I come up with... I wouldn't think it would work well.
pic below is of a proper h trim
See your in NWFL. Do you ever make it to Fort Walton Beach??

We machined the compressor cover on my hybrid to have 0.5mm clearance between inducer and housing. This mirrored the clearance it had with the original smaller wheel (U-trim) before machining & with what I was able to find through searching around. Supposedly 0.5-0.6mm clearance is the norm.

A 60-1 compressor wheel has a slightly wider inducer (0.6mm) and the exducer is a lot wider (6mm), which would require a wider opening to follow the curve.
