which exhaust wheel option?

[zam70]

I'm revamping my setup a little and have sent my turbo
in for a rework (to limit for seals, beraing etc...) While
it's there I want them to update it (originally a PTE
TE60 w/.63 housing from 1997) to modern
standards/technology.

I've run 50lb inj, ported heads (to be installed)
MaxEffort, MPE stretch IC, 3200 9" converter and the rest of the typical supporting mods.

I've decided to go with the GT 61mm compressor
wheel (their suggestion because it fits)...but I'm undecided on the exhaust wheel.

I mainly run street and 1/8th mile, with an occasional 1/4 mile track trip. I originally was going to run the GT350 wheel but they said I might be better off sticking with my current exhaust wheel (11 blade stage 3, what ever that
means). He thought it would spool quicker than the
GT350 (9 blade)...and would be better to run for
street & 1/8th mile runs...any thoughts? I don't doubt his knowledge but am looking for other "user" thoughts.

All the differing turbo designations confuse the hell out of
me.

Thanks for any info

Yeah me too. I guess "P trim" and "Q trim" always refer to the exhaust wheel pitch, correct?

Scott what do you want to build your car for? Setting it up to run for short bursts i.e. 1/8th mile runs almost always make the car more fun on the street. From what I have seen of your posts over the years you dont seem like a guy that goes to the track that much (like me) but would rather have a fast car from stoplight to stoplight (like me)

I guess what I am getting at is a decription of the differences between the wheels by someone would be great, since it seems you and I have similar goals.

I actually do go to the track alot now...once every 2 weeks or so...I just don't talk about it much (still learning to drive and tune).
I am trying to build my car to be "street fast" I guess...(running drag radials) and am trying to get it to run to its Maximum potential with a streetable tune - safely, and reliably. I still drive my car alot and don't want a race only car. Been there, done that...not much fun. So - I decided to build a true street car i could race respectably.
I don't and won't run race gas but I do run methanol injection and have become quite adept at tuning.

I mainly run 1/8th mile (track is close) but will head to Gateway some this year for some 1/4 mile runs.

With the tubo, I felt since it was an older build (old tech) and was in for a rebuild anyway, I'd have it modernized.
It's a no brainer on the 61mm GT wheel...I'm just not sure which way to go on the exhaust...

With that converter, I think the P-trim would be the ticket. If you had more converter, I would go with the Q trim cause you would have the converter to spool that puppy.
