Is There Any Power Difference If I Change The Compressor Wheel On A Stock Turbo Housing?

Stock Turbo.

Remove the stock Compressor wheel.

Replace it with a T04 Compressor Wheel.

Is it advisable?

if so, what will be the power difference, or there will not be any difference at all.

Thats basically what a highflow is. You have to machine the housing to make it fit, fit a bigger exhaust wheel, modify the exhaust housing and balance it, its a highflow

Exactly, uve just in basic form described a hiflow turbo, so yes deffinately more power to be had. However it would be advisable to simply use a well known hiflow such as sliding or gcg.

Or do some homework and slot in a suitable off the shelf Garrett cartridge.

Depending on your preference, the GT2871 or GT2876 range can give very good results too.

dale fz1, you're the turbo guru. I'm just having exams atm, but i'd love to have a chat with you about some turbo tech after:)

As the other guys have said above, yeah, there are definite benefits. What you'd more importantly do though, is change the rear wheel, which is your biggest limit. It's ceramic. So in essence, you'd change both i.e. highflow both

Gurus live on mountain tops. I live somewhere just above a wet gully...

Still on for a yarn anytime though.

I agree, basically the stumbling block is that ceramic rotor. Get rid of that, and things open up a bit. Those couple of options nominated really are pretty effective, as are the custom offerings from Slide and GCG. So in the end, he has a high flow.

Do any of you know where I can read more on hi-flowing a turbo?

i thought of using the stock R33 turbo housing.
