thanks!!!! did you have to send them you turbo to upgrade to the 60mm wheel like htt does or every thing is slap together? and did it cool better?

The bearing housing has to be machined larger under the compressor wheel to set the new 60mm wheel in place which I did on a lathe for mine.

Here's a stock 54mm wheel set in place as an example after the machining,

Yep, took mine to a machine shop to have it done. Probably a $50 job, but I knew the guy so he did mine for next to nothing. Gillett will send you the instructions with the amount you need to machine.
But I think they also have a wheel and housing that doesn't require machining, but they say it will probably surge and recommend the one that does need machining.

It'll peg 1500F at WOT in about 10 seconds...burned and had to replace the head gasket last summer and that was with the 14cm exhaust housing too.
I want to try wastegating through another pipe and see if that'll free up some excessive drive pressures and hopefully lower temperatures.
