Dum-Dum's Transsexual HDi Roadster - HE/SHE RUNS!!! :D

Trust me that turbo will be a complete failure - that's either going to be too much and completely f*ck any response, or too little and you're going to just ram the turbine wheel into the housing.

You'd GENUINELY be better off removing the compressor off the shaft, undoing the backplate, swapping that and bolting back up, even if you didn't VSR it, you'd get better results...

The old 8 blade GT15 turbines are crap also. And judging by the fac you said the wheel is smaller at it's outer - you've now given it a MASSIVE A/R that simply isn't going to get the gas into the blades, it'll just pass round it...

I have first hand experience of DIY Hybrids and each and every one tried thus far has been a chronic failure. Turbine housings and sizing are WAY more important than people would first make out.
