Eventually, myself, I think I´ll upgrade my TME to a WR-9-TME, eventhough a short while back I was set on getting a TME-9, now I want the WR´s 5-bladed compressor wheel inside the IX compressor housing spooled-up by a clipped TiAl turbine wheel spinning inside of a ported 10.5 turbine housing. I´ll bet I can order one from Buschur. Now, I just need the cash.

if you understand what i just said them i must miss read that post. if not there is a good hint for you to re type that. lol. wr/tme/9-5 light wheel 7-429er

i never hurd of tme-9 turbo. not saying they dont make one just saying i never hurd of one.
if w/r is what you want. then id say yes w/r/tme would be your winner. but look into the b/r 20g9-5 1st. you may change your mind
did i make sence. i dout it.
The TME-9, as far as I know, was a concept first proposed by Trinydex. I think it is basically a TME turbo, which has the lightweight turbine wheel, combined with the IX turbo´s improved compressor housing. Really, it is a cheaper way to get the same performance as the JDM IX turbo which has magnesium internals and is way expensive.
The WR was originally a TME based turbo to begin with. You had two options. Send in your stock core and have it upgraded or buy the WR outright with the TME internals. I suppose three options if you already owned a TME and sent it in for the upgrade.

well....there really hasnt been any solid proof that the WR compressor wheel is what went into Buschurs 20g-9-5. But most of us speculate that is what it is. You are correct that it is not built on the TME internals. When Buschur tried that on his original 20g-8w/TME he had surging issues. There is nothing to say that would happen with the 20g-9-5 as no one I know of on here has tried that combo yet. I also think that BR turbo has a modified turbine wheel as well but you would have to double-check that one. I am 99% sure of it though.
