Yosser Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 I was casually browsing ebay and came across this billet wheel for an 18T. The 18T in my S70R is getting a bit whiney and I'm tempted to pull it and do a rebuild, but this has got me wondering whether swapping the compressor wheel for this would be worthwhile. Has anyone used a wheel like this, and what are your impressions? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIZIO AKA 1 HND MEC Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Is a upgrade as a quality intended not as a size. (Drops-in to all standard TD04HL-18T turbos, no machining required.) For that $$ you can upgrade to the K24 from the 04 R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
550 Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 For 250 dollars, I would look at a new turbo and upgrading as well at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbodor3 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 looks terribly machined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler T5R Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 What about the 18t kit currently in vs for sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad850 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 K24 would be fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Bondo Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 looks terribly machined. Based on what? A tiny stock photo? Looks about the same as any other billet wheel to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yosser Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 just rebuild the one you have Thanks for your comments, I guess that's probably what I should do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinaphps Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I also very much agree with this view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricF Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 I think it would at least be interesting to see the difference. Billet wheels are never a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Bondo Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 I think it would at least be interesting to see the difference. Billet wheels are never a bad idea. Agreed. It probably has lower inertia than a 19T and flows as much or more. The 15G's on the BMW will likely get a pair of these. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedro fandango Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Well, this is one occasion where my procrastination may have paid off..... http://www.ardtuning...eels_c_110.html i'm tempted with one for my 19t, just asked Lucky if it'll make much difference (& need to find out postage costs lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiles855R Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Meet up with Lucky this past weekend before the IPD beach cruise to get a green tune. He showed me one of the wheels and its so unbelievably light, dont see how it wouldn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
