"Clipping" a wheel can be done on a smaller turbo so that you get bettero top-end while sacrificing a little spool-up time.

I don't think you really need a bigger wheel (judging from the way you asked this question). Are you running more than 1 bar on your current turbo? If not, then it will only hurt you.

i'm building my engine right now, never turboed before, i used to run nitrous, but that got boring after a wile. so i'm moving on to biger and better things. i got a T3 tubo for realy cheap. it is re-built but the guy i bought it from said that he doesnt know alot about turbos but he thinks the compressor wheel needs to be replace, he said it looks like a small bolt fell in there wile it was spining and chipped the wheel. thats why i was asking. i havent got the turbo yet, it's on the way
