ct26 turbine wheels, JDM ceramic versus USDM steel, differences? Are they noticeable or negligible? Options

[Darkchylde]

Soooooooo, I have had to send my 26 out to be rebuilt and in the process have found that the turbine wheels need to be changed. The shop that has the turbo says that they can't get the JDM ceramic wheels so they will have to use steel ones.

1) how will this affect my spool time/ Lag? (new to forced induction, understand the basics but am still a little fuzzy on the intricacies)

2) anyone know where to get the ceramic wheels?

3) any one have a JDM importers # or a 26 or 20b they can spare?

Thanks for your input and assistance all.

brenton, brent both 2nd and 3rd gen have side feed injectors.
and deliusions, both of you guys need to stop.
if you cant act like adults, and debate the diffrences between the 20b, 26 and 27, ill just ban you both, i dont have time for this crap.

thread re-opened.

no chances, so dont push it.

art, get a 20b, preferably a WRC version if you can.

if you want a 1 year warranty, and prefer a remanufactured turbo, get the ct-27.

unlike these 2 guys, who just have hearsay and no direct experience with the ct-27, i have had both turbos. they are virtually identical as far as performance.

i actually have my old '27 in the garage, needs a new thrust bearing after 5 years of beating the hell out of it.
