Gt2259 compressor wheel replacement

[Frogger]

I jacked up my compressor wheel with a nut hitting it while running. No metal got through and the turbo has been running fine except it puts out only 7 psi instead of my tuned 23+ psi. My question: if I replace this part with another from a Gt2259, do I need to sweat the specs or are they universal among various cars? At least this part ?

I posted a picture for your viewing pleasure.

Damn that sucks! Sorry to hear this or see it!

I almost made it my turbo upgrade excuse but ATP missed their window, for now. I've been running at 7 psi for a couple of months and don't even know what several new bolt ons feel like with my stock turbo working correctly. I think I can replace the compressor wheel for less than $200. Just want to make sure before I order the correct part and there are no gotchas.

What was the impact on your FE with the 'detuned' turbo....35? 36? LOL...sorry, couldn't resist....

To answer your initial question you cannot replace just the wheel on it with a GT22 unit. Most GT22's are cast compressor wheels and your factory one is a billet unit. Not to mention this is a proprietary wheel for the Ecoboost Mustang so the compressor wheel to cover tolerances will be off. I highly suggest you do a turbo upgrade or purchase Jap Tuning's stock turbo.

If you search for my other thread covering prices of a new motor and turbo, you can get a new turbo from Ford for about $1100. May be cheaper than waiting for someone to get a upgraded turbo kit and sell you their stock unit.
