dam...first time I have seen a 13 blade comp. wheel. Details? Wider compressor map (more flow at lower PR)?

It's an out of the box GTX5533R. Supposed to be much more efficient and lower backpressure. The cover is also physically larger everywhere as compared to the original Gen 1 5533R.

They work awesome, with the twins at 60psi we only see 50psi back pressure and they light up nice!

That's fine, there's a reason they aren't fast with the Chinese units.
