[QUOTE="ruthless, post: 10918696, member: 56567"] As per the link that disappereed.. "Forged Billet Compressor Wheels are even better than standard billet wheels" Well no crap! However I didnt know they were making them out of forged material yet. I would also like to add that I can not a as big of a performance jump going from billet to a forged wheel because of the following. (Much easier to post up what they wrote but the process is the same on Billet and forged billet wheels.) " Turbonetics uses Forged Billet to machine the compressor wheel on a 5-Axis mill, the nose and hub of the compressor wheel can be made significantly smaller to allow for a greater blade diameter for a givine inducer size. The nose is where the compressor nut gets fastened down and the hub is the area around the bore of the wheel that the impeller blades are attacheed to. A cast wheel has to have a certain size nose and hub to allow the wheel to be cast number one and secondly it has to be able to be pulled from the mold itself. So simply stated a 61mm Forged Billet turbo will flow more air and have the opportunity to make more power than the same 61mm turbo with a cast compressor wheel." I just noticed that artical was posted on On December - 15 - 2009. If they have the better tech then why dont you hear about these turbos on here? The turbo I was recommended for my car is still considered the top dog for some reason. [/QUOTE]
