The compressor wheel, bearing section, and turbine assembly is called a center housing rotating assembly. CHRA. The housings on the end can be removed and modified which is what HKS does.

sooo. is a KKS gt charger worth the pennies to buy or just stay with a regular garrett charger.

i might get the turbo first then later when k20 are cheaper swap it out. im looking to make 200whp with d17 and atleast 300whp with k20. things i consider *very very very* important are turbo spool times to full boost. also, do they have a good resale value.

the most important thing is lower lag and more power. i wanna build a rear mount turbo mainly for the easy install.

edit: i can also learn to build it front mount but im looking at rear mount for the unique sleeper look.
