They said its a 80mm comp wheel and 82mm turbine......designed for small displacement motors with the DBB. The GT4508R uses the big 87mm turbine wheel....and its kind of sluggish on the Evo's. My buddy is running the 4508R and doesn't really care for it on the street, but its a awesome turbo at the track. He swapped to a Borg Warner S374 and it didn't spool much better and only lasted a few hard pulls at the track. He had the same problem most of the BW's have. Thrust bearing went quickly. I want something with big power, reliable and spools fast.... My silver bullet turbo is awesome but I want mo'powa
yeah that turbo i think they are calling a 4582 because the 08 is 108mm exducer but i follow you..

Yeah the name of the turbo is GT4208R = GT42 turbo with 108 compressor backing. Much like the GT4202 ='s GT42 with 102mm backing. I guess I just need to order one....lol. I figured somebody would have already run it, but then again they are new. Woot!!...maybe I can be first at something. Now I just need to rob a store.....

...spill the beans if you know? They are complete already though....... Also found out their is a Billet GT4202, but 71mm inducer , but still has the 102 backing?? Apparently its built for one of the NHRA classes.....suppose to flow 91lbs/min versus the GT4294 which is 70mm, which is used now that flows 84lbs/min. They come up with new crap every week....
. Now I know why they supply so many aftermarket companies with turbos...lol

I've seen that wheel, it has the shaft that comes through it. This is a Billet version of the GT42 comp wheel. Screws on...just like the others. That comp wheel your talking about comes off a KKK turbo I believe.....
