What upgraded turbos? The turbos and manifold are cast together so you can only use wheels that can fit the stock turbo housing.
The only other way is, custom shorty manifold and bigger turbos which Speedriven have tried but have not managed to tune successfully, this is how i understand it.
You can do a billet turbo upgrade but the manifolds become a choke point once a certain power level has been achieved.
At the moment I am just talking from what I have read, however in 2 weeks I will have some dyno numbers and hopefully 1/4 mile times for the billet route as my project is close to completion.

I'm not sure "haven't been able to tune one successfully" is entirely accurate, but I get where you're coming from- there are limitations to what's possible without a built trans. and there are other things holding it back. That said, the E85 option changes things quite a bit- more boost, more power possible there than you might think. Definitely give us a call, E85 guy.

Very nice, I hope this will work out. Look forward to seeing some results.
Does anybody know what the new turbo setup is on the 65's as these seem to be able to put out some big numbers?

Almost 10 years later … how’d this turn out for you guys - looking into upgraded turbo wheels but haven’t seen anything properly functional to persuade me

Turbo upgrade
There’s VRP with their billet wheel and then there’s a guy in Arizona that I’m looking into building the turbos with an 82 mm impeller

nick wright by any chance? Was thinking about going that route to - my only issue is I feel like no one gets it running right after going bigger turbo wheels - I’ve been searching and can’t seem to find proven results
