Billet compressor wheels for transverse ecoboost 3.5L

Mike I'm interested if that deal is still on the table but how are you guys over riding the computer. My car is tuned by Torrie and my mods are in my signature. I just installed down pipes we made at my shop and the car feels like it's shutting down when I get into it hard. It was doing this prior to the down pipes but now it's worse.  It wants to start spinning halfway through first and the pcm is shutting me down. I can only imagine more power will make it worse. I don't know if it's torque management or traction control? Since I don't have the PP, I can't turn advance trac off. I have a J2534 pass through device and a subscription to the Motorcraft site through work. I read on another forum about a guy who programmed his non PP with pp software and had full functionality but don't know exactly the recipe he used. I sent him a message but he hasn't been active since 2013. Forgive my wandering thoughts!
 
I would guess you're hitting torque limiters, work with Torrie on the tune and data logging to review. He definitely can accommodate this in a tune, he did it for my Flex when I installed these.
 
If I remember correctly, they got the as-built data from a PP sho and used it to write the as-built on the non-pp, giving it the advanced trac off and tighter steering feel. I have been tempted to buy a ford ids knock off and try it, but I am not sure where to get the as-built data to try...

I've been able to secure some upgraded compressor wheels for the GT15 turbos used on 3.5L transverse (SHO/Flex/MKT/MKS/Explorer Sport).
These compressor wheels allow you to get an additional 2-3 psi down low and hold to 19 psi on the top end of the RPM range.
I tested these on my Flex and ran 12.3 at very high DA.
Usually I sell this as a mail your turbo in option but I can now source the wheels for you to do the upgrade yourself.


As an introductory special I will offer these at $100 off - $500 for the first 30 days.

These are in stock and ready to ship!

is this the same performance upgrade as the $1600.00 turbo upgrade when sending them in? or is that still a better way to go? or better off spending the 2200.00 on the bigger turbo upgrade?
 
Same wheels as the $1600 setup but no WGA. It really depends on your budget and mechanical abilities.

I never realized how small those impellers were lol My Novi 2000 impeller on my 2000 Mustang was much larger :)

Impeller installation looks pretty easy but how do you get them balanced ? What is needed to "rebuild" the turbo while you're at it ? My SHO has 78K but still runs very strong on my LMS V8 tune.

Do you have a local turbo shop? If not you can send your turbos in for the complete package of rebuild, compressor wheel, turbo balanace and WGA install for the $1600.
 
Did anyone ever end up doing the impellers themselves?  I have come to the conclusion that you do not need to rebalance them as the new impellers would be perfectly balanced already.  Just have to re tighten the nut to the point where it was when stock impellers were on.  Should be a mark, if not mark it yourself.  I wanna do this upgrade soon.  At least I am planning to and could possibly make a trip to Wisconsin to dyno before the upgrade and then travel back after the upgrade and re tune.  sorry to open this thread back up...  But I was curious if anyone had done this.
 
Assuming original shaft assembly is balanced without the stock impeller than adding a new balanced unit should be as simple as you expect. You'll want to try to track down torque spec for the nut and probably need high temp loctite or other thread locker.

That's what I was thinking as well.  I don't see why they would be any different than the f150 but a little smaller.  I plan to bite the bullet as soon as my 22's are gone.
 
In for updates on this. I had assumed there was much more too this. So you don't need a bunch of downtime, shipping, a shop etc to swap out the wheels? I like the idea of this and downpipes with a pinch of E85 over meth.
 
If the sho wasnt my daily id love to get wheels or turbos...if mine ever blow i may grab some...there should be good gains without e85...if the wheels are that much different then they will be moving more air at the same psi ...so 15 psi would be even better than stock turbo 15 psi and there is plenty of fuel in the stock sytem above 3k
 
I talked to my supplier, best case is of course to get the turbos balanced which occurs with the $1600 setup along with new WGA and turbos being rebuilt with better seals.

Whatever you guys want to do, just let me know.
