Default Compressor Wheel Question???

I sent of my Greddy 15g turbocharger to get rebuilt by a company named turbochargers.com. They called me and quoted me $520.00. Does this seem a little high for a rebuild/upgrade. BTW, Turn around time was about 2 weeks including the shipping to and from. Great service, and always glad to answer my questions

Also the compressor wheels are different from the stock one. can someone tell me the differences between the wheel designs. Was wondering if it might be an upgraded wheel or something.

Thanks,

Jon

That would be a 16G compressor you have now.

Might want to read the posts again. I answered his question as basic a possible. Its a 16G. Its a 6 blade 6 splitter. It will flow 505 cfm. Its better than the 15G house fan compressor that you had. Did you get Pwn3d by turbochargers.CON...... yes you did. Do they rape everyone. Yes they do. That's why the are affectionately known as turbochargers.CON
