For the turbine side, we use the stock turbine wheel, we also remove the stock waste gate arm and flapper valve prone to rattling and boost loss issues and upgrade it with a 100% stainless steel piece to eliminate all of these known problems. These units also come with brand new factory OEM waste gate actuators. We chose the 14T wheel for the stage 1’s because it is a much better match to the stock turbine than the 15T compressor wheel even though it means we have to set up differently to machine the different stages. Stage 1 is the perfect cost effective alternative to stock OEM replacement turbochargers.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTD04 upgraded thrust: All VTT turbos come with a performance TD04 upgraded thrust to extend the life of the turbochargers. The stock thrust system has shown to be prone to failure and upgraded thrust parts were created to remedy this. The upgraded thrust option consists of an upgraded thrust bearing and a 30% increase in surface area on all complimenting thrust pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eVTT Billet compressor wheel:\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e VTT Stage 1 upgrade can include Billet VTT Compressor wheel as an option.
