I have tried it years ago... and guess what happened? It surged!

Here's a quote from a conversation with Karl Norris about it afterwards...

The 60 trim compressor wheel is I'm affraid a very poor wheel in general.
Some of the examples you list are quite different to fitting it to a 1600cc RST too, Escos and a Saf?! lol
There is also another big difference between your examples and fitting a 60 trim to a RST T3... But I'm sure you know what that is.

It's not to say they cannot work because they can, I was just pointing out that most Stage 3's are 55/.48 not 60.

Maybe you should check, as you can see here Turbo Techincs stage 3 is a .48/55...




But hey what do I know.
