hey guys i know this is probably a dumb question but how can i tell by pictures if the turbo is a bbk full or lite? i know the full has a compressor wheel and turbine upgrade while the lite has just a compressor upgrade....but is there a way to tell by just looking? thanks!

 

Here's a bunch of pics of my BBK Full and my IX turbo. IDK if there's any side-by-side but you can def tell the BBK has a bigger turbine wheel. A BBK Lite would just have the stock size turbine wheel.

Keep in mind after I received the BBK, I had a pretty insane port job done on it by Bob@MAP, followed by ceramic coating.

 

do they both have the blue wheel though? i know they are billet blue kompressors but i dont know if they mean that the compressor cover inside is blue or if the wheels are both blue as well. hmmm thanks for the help

 

Just the compressor wheel is blue, and yes they would both (BBK Full and lite) be blue, and it is the exact same wheel on both. The turbine wheel would be soot black pretty quick anyways, so doing a colored wheel makes no sense there.

Make sense?

 

Yes both have the pretty blue compressor wheel...the lite does not have the upgraded turbine wheel..stock 9 wheel. The BBK full turbine wheel is MUCH larger.
