Also interested in the billet wheels...

Here ya go evan. I think you should be able to click on them and then it will take you to the photobucket page.

Right now I'm saying about 3-4 weeks. Yep they get sandblasted, cleaned, coated etc so they look nice and purdy when they come back

Guess it is my internet and the photobucket server. Gotta love proxies! Thanks! They look pretty good.

Other than the sleeve on the compressor, does the exhaust side get machined any?

Ah. Hmm. I have some 9B cores. No WRX cores. Is there a performance difference between them? Enough to justify the difference in price? I'm at least a few months out due to some unexpected messes, but still want to have firm plans.

For the standard 19T it does not. The upgraded 19T comes with a bigger turbine wheel and is machined out for it.

I haven't dynoed a set of them to compare but I would have to say looking at the two completely apart and measuring the differences in size. I would have to make an educated guess and say there should be a pretty significant difference. The WRX housing is just so much bigger then the 9B housing.

We have plans to build a racecar this summer and we are planning on running a set of our WRX 19T turbos.
