Impeller upgrade? Stock housing.

Instead of going bigger turbos with Pure or others, can we just upgrade the impeller? I believe factory impellers are already ball bearing... So would upgraded impellers even do anything?


Found this link with OEM Garrett Turbo info

And found this impeller as an upgrade:

There are options for upgrading just the compressor wheel. Pure still uses stock housings and stage 1 is their compressor wheel upgrade, stage 2 is both compressor and turbine upgrade.

Also, stock turbos are not ball bearing.

For availability and direct bolt on I would suggest pure stage I or stage II. More than enough for stock motor.
