Can you please post some pictures and measure of bored out 6 housing?

I am thinking of doing the same combination.

If you go to the trouble of installing a k27 compressor and volute, change the turbine in the original housing.

New turbines have better materials and energy characteristics than the original turbines.

What is the size of hot side wheel on #6 turbine? (#8 is +/- 6cm)
On a original k26/6 the turbine wheel is 50mm.
The k26/8 wheel is 55mm.

Does this under steering wheel wiring (pics, with snip) make sense to anyone?
