i emailed fleece, they dont sale wheels seperate. but he said i have to upgrade my turbine wheel in order to run a bigger compressor wheel. so danivlle performance is where i need to go?
For what you will have into these turbos I could sell you a 4094 vvt or a HTT 66/71/13 with SS housing or a II phat shaft 66/74/14 with SS housing and race cover and 360 washer and dual bearing and with install kit.

To run a bigger compressor, you have to be able to drive it. A stock turbine will not drive that big of a compressor in manner that is effiecient and worth the effort.
Beyond that even if you were able to buy just a wheel, you will not be able to just drop it in, you will need to machine the housing to fit that big of a wheel.
This is all R&D that FPE and DP have been doing for several years, take my word for it, it will be worth spending the money to upgrade to one already built and proven to perform, and save yourself the effort and heartache of spending time and money on something that may not work.

I'd say got to a billet s366 or just a regular s366 unless you love the vvt sound then go to a stage 2 garret or a fleece 68-71mm :thumb:
I would go with a Danville Performance! Mark knows what's he's doing with turbos! My husband just got a new one from them and it runs and sounds AMAZING! :thumb:
well i know about having to machine the housings of the turbo, and having to run another turbine wheel. its just i have buddies who can machine turbos, and ive rebuilt a few my self. i just couldnt seem to find a compressor wheel. but idk if i even fee like trying doing it my self. i may just go bigger turbo
