There are some options you can look at. Do you have a 96mm or 83mm turbine wheel? There are some comparable turbos out there.

The problem with the BW turbos is they run a larger center shaft, and that makes it harder to run one of the new style billet wheels. The billet wheels use a smaller shaft/hub, and that allows for a larger swept area for the inlet. The BW turbo might be able to have the shaft machined down to use with a billet compressor. If not, a new turbo is pretty much the only thing.

yep, same turbo, just different compressor wheel. I'm just not sure they will offer the compressor wheel alone.

Correct. The CHRA and compressor housing need to be bought together, they wont sell just the compressor or even do an upgrade.

Islander, I'm pretty sure Bullseye have a double batwheel for your turbo-really great for high boost levels.

Supposedly a 65mm GTX40 series is in testing and is due out anytime. This 65mm turbo is supposed to flow as much as the GT4294R! Should be an awesome rotary turbo.
