Default S300 Compressor upgrades

Does anybody know of anyone that sells housings and wheels for an S300, i talked to HTT and they have a kit thats $525+$100 core. It comes with the wheel, housing and a new waste gate accuator. I was looking for something cheaper, cause i only have $200 in the turbo.

Thanks

is your s300 an (s300g) which is 57/65/14 if so htt bored out the compresser side and installed a 62 wheel. and now my truck doesent smoke hardly at all and my egt's went from 1400+ to 1150 max, pullin my trailer is nice again. (thanks htt) time for bigger injectors' haha if your turbo is an s300 it is alot better than mine because you have a lot more upgrades to choose from where mine is maxed (next time i will have to bite the bullet)

For a short time I was looking at doing this for my 62/65/12 D-tech turbo and it ended up that it would be more trouble than it's worth. This may not apply to other S300 turbos however.

$350 + shipping. Its probably better to sell your turbo and get a bigger one new.

i want a new housing too, one of my other buddies is suppose to find out and see if he can get it from somewhere else cheaper. I just dont see how you can justify $500 for a wheel, housing, and i think he told me the kit he priced me has a new wastegate accuator. The kits that are for the H1Cs are like $250 for a wheel and housing (which is what i want) I figured it would be $250-$350.
