Default comp wheel upgrade

Hi all,

I have just fitted and balanced a Mamba GTX2860r compressor wheel and housing to my Gt2860rs turbo. I am hoping that this will make it more efficient while holding boost longer. With The gt28rs comp wheel the boost dropped off from 5,500rpm. hoping this one will hold 21psi till 6,500rpm.
I know it's a copy of the Garrett wheel but the inducer is a little bigger @ 47mm exducer 60.1 with extended tips @ 63.3mm.
It is 3mm taller and 3grams lighter than the gt2860rs comp wheel so should be interesting.
Anyone tried a Gtx2860r?

Cheers.

Tim.
