Any of you guys know if the TO4E compressor backplate can be used with the 60-1 compressor wheel? I assume it can since the 60-1 wheel is only 3.000" in major diamater (same as the TO4E 50 trim). (And, I also believe the 60-1 HiFi from Turbonetics is just the 60-1 in the TO4E housing?)
I am thinking about putting a 60-1 wheel on my existing turbo, as I really dont want to start from scratch as I like the center section and exhaust sides that I already have (I just want a little more airflow capability on the compressor side). The TO4E 50 trim on there now is severely taxed at high boost pressure as boost pressure actually drops with rpm.
I have the 0.50 A/R compressor cover as well. I am not sure if it would be better to have that housing machined for the 60-1 wheel, or start with a bigger 0.60 or 0.70 A/R housing to begin with?
I really do not want to put a full TS04 cover on there (4" inlet and 2.5" outlet.) I test fit one before and, although it fits, its a PITA to fit an airfilter on there and I really dont want the extra hassle. Plus, the smaller A/R covers should (I believe) make the 60-1 wheel "happier" at higher boost pressures?
Any ideas would be appreciated!
