A few months ago my turbo suck in my BHAF and trashed the compressor wheel. It was a 60mm H1C hybrid with a 16cm non-wastgated turbine.
I sent it to Gillett in Utah (great guys) and they upgraded it to the max, a 62mm / 86mm.
The problem is, now the 16CM doesn't create enough drive pressure at lower RPM's now. Crazy, I never expected that. Now it will rev like crazy and is still pulling like a Viper at 90 when I shift into 5th!!!
So now I am saving for a floating 14CM. They are stupid expensive compared to the 16CM!

That doesn't make sense. You have a bigger wheels now moving more air in which equals more flow out and thus more drive pressure. I think the heavier wheels are just fooling you into thinking that with the additional lag. The 14cm housing is going to axe your top end power.
