Default Any more info about it?
Try talking to HPA motorsports about it as they are the importer of that company. Maybe they can give you info on it.

Will do that. My turbo is blown and thought it would be a good idea to upgrade.

Looks like a larger A/R housing. Is anything done on the compressor side?
