17whp honestly isnt worth the price in my opinion.

I agree. It is pretty amazing that they CNC that wheel, that has to take a TON of time! They don't have their speeds and feeds right for machining either, notice the "specs" on the fins. I would have thought they would have tumbled them afterwards to smooth them out more.

Looks nice, but for the price no thanks.

I'm thinking they're left there on purpose, to direct airflow a bit like mini vortex generators.

Yes, they are part of the design!

I suspect with some more tuners getting their hands on these we will see some better results. For these bigger turbos, my vote would still go to the HTA35R though, as it makes 37R power and awesome midrange torque. Another guy just made 550whp on pump gas with one yesterday!

^awesome smiley.

I think i would try a BW ET like B man before this stuff. But for you ballers i can say that the 35HTA was impressive.

[Goat Blower]

I don't know. Personally I'd rather pay for good FP stuff that lasts forever than buy cheap turbos that crap out all the time. Considering my bi-yearly turbo upgrade plan, the HTA88 is probably on my list for next year.

^That is true about FP.
