Default question about K03 Hybrid turbos

Hybrid is usually created by putting largel compressor wheel. Is the shaft diameter (strength) increased as well?

While the larger compressor wheel allows same boost generated at lower turbo RPM, the load on the shaft is also higher. Any concerns about the shaft longevity?

Default I believe k04=5mm, k03=4mm, also the temperature limiter (insulator) has been reduced to allow

more shaft material to strengthen it...
