K27 turbo, visual differences between 7006 and 7200 wheels?
I was wondering if there is any way to look at the compressor wheel on a K27 to determine if its a 7006 or 7200 wheel?
I have a K27/6 with a 7006 part # which i am planning on putting on my 951. I am fairly certain the turbo has the 7006 wheel which as i understand it is not ideal for quick spool, especially with my 2.5L 951. I contacted Turbo Performance out in California and they said they can purchase the 7200 compressor wheel, install then balance the entire turbo..effectivley making it a K27/6 7200 for about $300. I just wanted to verify before sending the turbo out that its indeed a 7006 wheel on the inside.
I figure you 930 guys will be the most educated on these K27's.

What you have is a 7006 compressor wheel and compressor housing.
The 7200 compressor wheel is considerably larger.
However, due to the 6 AR turbine housing and smaller turbine wheel it is not recommended to install the larger 7200 wheel. The better match will be with a .8 AR 951 S turbine housing and larger turbine wheel with the 7200 compressor wheel. The size ratio's are off.

Kevin, thanks for your response. So as it stands now, its not as simple as just putting in the 7200 wheel into the turbo i have now? Am i correct in that the 7200 compressor wheel will not fit under this compressor cover?
Ive read alot of older posts in the 951 forum saying the K27/6 with the 7200 wheel is ideal for a 951 wanting very quick spool with a solid increase in power. I understand the back pressure issue with such a small hotside but am not to concerned considering i dont run anything higher than 15-16psi.
BTW, please forgive my ignorance. I am still a newbie when it comes to this turbo stuff. In the pictures above is the first time ive ever opened up and looked at the internals of a turbo.
