I wonder what the turn around time is for that upgrade?

I will give them a call about rebalance the new assembly after it's been installed..

spoke to fp today:

4-5 day turn around

ti alloy turbine wheel = $373.50

cost to install/balance a.k.a. rebuild = $245-

So ~$618 to get a Ti alloy turbine wheel into your stock turbo + $240 for a turbine housing = $858............Would be better off getting a whole new turbo for $150 bucks more.

Id have to spring for the new turbo first... esp. since you'd have an extra for "a rainy day" or to "play with". That's not getting your rocks off, for those of you who were not thinking of modifying turbos.
