They must be close in size for the K16 compressor wheel to fit the K04 shaft, right? Anyone care to teach me a few things here?

TIA!

More details please! If the K16 uses a bigger shaft, how do you fill in the excess space?

Default Heh, you are just a wealth of information. So in your proffesional opinion....

K04 shaft is enough to spin the K16 wheel with no problems?

Default oui

the RS6 wheel and K16 wheel are pretty close in size. KKK isnt going to produce a shaft/wheel that is close to the extreme in terms of shaft breakage

Even if I did, I wouldn't tell you. You would just post them
