GDS HC1 turbo upgrade
I ordered stage 2 60mm one yesterday from them and I asked if I had to have my backplate machined andthey said no a new one with enhanced mapwidth slot comes with it. Is there any difference between this and the one from HTT? as there is a $152 difference between them.

I got the GDS stage 2 kit and you were right it is the same as the HTT stage 3, no backplate with it and an 8 blade wheel. I called to see if I could return it for the one that needs the housing machined and this time got to talk to their turbo guy. He told me I could if I wanted but both have almost identical mapwidth and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference performance wise so I am just keeping this one. I have a question of anyone who has this compressor housing though, will a turbo elbow from a hx35 fit this compressor or do I need to get one from an hx40?

Anyway, to answer your question: The elbow for an intercooled H1C will bolt right up. No special parts required, bolt it on and enjoy.

First off, he is right about the GDS 2/ HTT III being "good enough." The bigger wheel is not worth the extra money, if you need more air than the 2/III upgrade provides you flat out need a new turbo and you shouldn't be wasting money upgrading an H1C.

I was thinking about the Stage IV, but I guess the Stage III will be fine.
What mm is my turbo stock now and what mm is the Stage III? Is the whislte louder than stock?
