You will moThanks @LilToTo17. I was looking for results on the same car but this will have to do. 250whp vs 295whp is significant. Peak torque stock is reached at around 3250rpm vs 4400rpm with the Pure unit. So..it's a small compromise of sorts. Thanks!
Well the thing is one of the best tuner's for the 10th gen civic even said modifying a stock turbo decreases it's durability. W1 on the other hand is not made from a stock turbo and is 100% made from scratch is the difference.You're right its a tad lazy compared to the W1. This is to be expected with a 9 blade vs 11 blade turbine. The difference in flow is probably comparable to the OEM non Si and OEM Si turbos. I'm an Oceanside local and have known about Pure for sometime ever since, they have high power cars running their hybrid turbos and just about any hybrid design retaining an OEM or OEM shape housing while increasing the turbine and compressor diameter, you would need to take off some material from the inside to make these larger wheels fit, W1 is no different. The only you would really get a thicker housing while having bigger wheels is just getting a bigger turbo itself like the ones PRL offers and skip the hybrid stuff.
