Default spool up difference with billet compressor wheel?

just wondering what kind of spool up difference can be had when upgrading to a billet compressor? is it significant? found the FMW wheel for $200 and and contemplating on slapping it on my s362sx if it is worth it. would it only make a minimal difference like 200-300 rpm earlier or significant like 1000 rpm earlier? any input it appreciated

Interesting. I'd like to see some before after results. I'd love for my snail to spool a bit quicker.

Im just going by the builds Ive seen not my personal car but the billet wheel does seem to add a good bit better spool for sure. look at SOS new turbo kit they show several different turbos and all the GTX with the billets spool a bit before the none billet

The Garrett gtx compressor wheels are just ridiculous. Their blade design doesnt come close to the fmw stuff from what I've seen. Call and talk to Jeremy at cheapturbo.com. I got my gtx45 from him. Absolutely love it.

Billet wheels really shine for their high pressure ratio efficiency, not so much spool. This is what makes them superior in my mind, not so much the 100-200 rpm spool difference.
