While I cant help much on your original queery, you realize that swapping compressor blades requires a balancing, and without a ultra precise VSR balance job that turbo will probably shake itself to death, these things spin in the tens of thousands of RPMS...

The factory HT-18 turbos basically use the same parts as a Garrett T-4.
