I messaged them on Facebook with some questions on specs. They read the message but didnt respond. Hopefully I get some answers soon.

Plans for my turbo are to run a billet wheel and upgraded to an 87mm turbine. If I cant get any info on the billet wheel then I guess I will save my money and just go to an 87mm turbine.

Ive messaged them twice, both messages have been opened and read...still no response. Guess they wont get any of my business if they cant answer a few simple questions for me.

Well they finally messaged me back. They wanted an email with details of the charger and what its being used on/for and so on. He said he will get me the specs im looking for and can tailor the wheels to compliment any setup. Said they are all custom made. I told him what I was looking for him to send over any additional info that he can think of that could be beneficial.

Since he said it can be tailored to suit my needs....what type of wheel flows the highest/best? 6 blade? 7, 8, 11 blade? Just curious what you guys have seen the best results from.

Obviously im not looking for any kind of miracle here. If it improves spool at all then that will be great but if I can kill 2 birds with 1 stone and increase efficiency as well then that will be awesome.

Just had a great email conversation with them. They seem to know there stuff and I feel comfortable running one of there wheels.

He says the bigger the cast wheel, the more can safely be shaved off a billet wheel. Said he has saved 50 grams off an s366 wheel and increased the blade length by 2mm from thinning the center hub.

They also have extended tip technology which he said give an extra 7mm of exducer on an s366 wheel. He hasnt worked the exact numbers on the s472 wheel yet so he couldnt give me exact data for my application yet. Sounds like we will be going with a single plane 11 blade design. Ssid it is about 5 days from when you pay, to when it ships.

I told him to send me a paypal invoice. Im excited to try it out.

Pretty stoked about about it. Just sent my payment.

I went with extended tip and extended height blades. I believe it will be 11 blade. Once the wheel shows up, I will hopefully be able to get some weight measurements of the cast wheel and the new billet wheel. The extended height wheel favors flow rather than spool up but he said it still spools quicker and is lighter than the stock cast wheel. I figured why not...best of both worlds.

I never found anyone who is running any of there wheels. I had about a 20 email conversation back and forth with them and they answered every question I had. Seemed to know exactly what they were talking about. I feel pretty good about it.

Mike-
Sorry for the stupid question here
Are your running the S472 as a single then?
