i mean is it just me or does that exhaust wheel look large?
running the numbers off the exhaust housing it says its a .82 a/r do you think that would be ok on my b16a2?

It definitely looks suspiciously stage 5. That's a big turbine wheel sitting in there. Only thing is that whomever modified the hotside to accept the bigger wheel must have had seizures and be legally blind as it's rough. Wasn't that turbo on Ebay last week? It's going to spool pretty late. To verify what a/r the comp housing is just look for it stamped in the compressor outlet. It looks like a .60 a/r T04B to me, but I'm no expert.
