Any news if the 2860's will get this upgrade aswel?

They has less blades with the lower blades removed. I believe it should work well as there are less weight and more passage space.

Its very interesting thou. This type of design was made and used many years ago before the current upper and lower bladed comp wheel was introduced..

[StealthX]

So do they have more blades or less? Can someone confirm?

Are they same sorta thing as the GTX40/42/45 turbos that they already sell?

Any significant difference in price for the average Joe?

For those sizes they generally have 12 blades as in 6 tall and 6 short. The one I've seen has only 10 tall blades. I wanted to buy one of those for the ceramic bb turbo that I'm currently working on. Been quoted $1600 just for a comp wheel. Price might come down when its more commercially available.

he is right i didnt take into account the little blades and only counted the big ones one the normal comp wheel

Have you tried the billet ones on fleabay? Always wondered if they were any good...
