Borg warner 69mm s369sxe will support 800HP and spool fast or faster than a 66mm.
Most billet wheels are not worth the money. The genuine FMW wheels from Borg warner kick the trash out of most 3rd party wheels. Does anyone honestly think that Borg, warner, Holset or Garrett with hundreds of engineers and equipment to actually test and create maps are going to be behind the curve and that random companies using off shore producers are going to be on the same level? There are a few places that do billet stuff domestically.
You can get a SXE turbo that has high flow cover, FMW wheel, 360* thrust and is built at BW with a 14cm gated housting for under $1400, or T4 ungated for under $900. I see no need to buy a $250 wheel to cannibalize a good turbo (that can be sold to offset teh price of a new turbo) and put the billet wheel on a used turbo and unbalanced (as a rotating assembly with the new wheel), or pay someone to do it when you can step up with all the features for a few hundred $ more.
