Here is a Wetzel wheel.
Definitely a KTS Turbo Billet wheel.... used by many cheap "turbo builders" for their cheap turbos as they are "Chinese billet" .... no way around it. let me see the dyno charts to see the bat comparison.

I've not looked at a 6+6 billet KTS and a Wetzel wheel side by side so I don't know for sure. I've talked to Scott & he was very knowledgeable so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. He said they're made locally but I would like to see them side by side.
When I get them all tested I will for sure start a thread to show my findings.

This is my 63.5 billet wheel that I designed and have made locally. It's funny wetzel performance (josh) actually was trying to get all my information on my turbos but wouldn't purchase one seemed fishy from the beginning. But now they offer a 63.5 turbo, I really don't care bc reputation is everything just figured to share. Seems like a lot of claims on hp out there, but zero proof. Yellow Chevy look forward to your results!

Machining is only part of the quality of a wheel, where did the metal come from. Born on date as to who, where and when was the metal cast, poured, forged etc.?
could you PM me some info on the 64 might be interested if the price is right alil down the road. Need something alil better to twin over in the futureThanks James!!! :thumb:
I've got a 64mm IHI coming up if you want to try that next???
I need to make single & twin turbo kits for Samari's know were I can find one???

Who is who again? Mpsoldier = Scott? From what company? "Josh" isn't on of our Joshs, is it?
Hmmm...64mm IHI would be interesting for the right price.

Tom,
You're right, the waters are muddy here, haha.
Scott is the gentleman that come up with/sells the Wetzel wheel that "mike diesel" posted. Here's his website http://wetzelperformance.com
Josh is the gentleman that contacted me about machining IHI covers for 63.5(64 if you want round numbers)mm. One of the times we spoke on the phone he said the Wetzel wheel made more power than the batmowheel.
This Josh is not out beloved JoshH that goes from school to school with his candy bus!!!!!!
:roflmao:Anymore I take everything with a grain of salt due to the "internet" so I'm happy to listed to what people say and make my own decision based on good info. Again, this is why I'm going to compare all 4 compressor wheels I have access to so I can see it for myself and not rely strictly on internet findings. The internet is a great tool but you need to be able to do critical thinking, haha.
Keep an eye out for my findings thread that will have all the wheel info; along with the 64mm.
I hope this cleared thing up Tom.

Thats good to know, thanks for the heads up. As long as he gives me money for a product I'll start with that.
Yellowchevy
I need to do some testing first to be sure it's a good product before I put them up for sale. I don't want to sell junk.
Yellowchevy
i would also be interested, keep us informed. i dont really what to go to a s366 and change all the pipe work in the future.
Will do. I need to finishing putting my pickup together so I can put it on the rolls.
Yellowchevy
Sure... Wait until I get a turbo from you,then offer an even better one :roflmao:
Honestly I couldn't be happier with mine its a thousand times better than stock, its tons of fun.
Maybe I'll give you some trade in value for yours if your nice!!!:roflmao:
