Definitely no, sorry

Jamo, KKK in Germany currently produce 24 different K26 compressor wheels for various different applications. Therefore it may well be that there are some K26 compressor wheels that ultimately will not produce quite as much power as some K24 compressor wheels, simply by virtue of their particular design and application. However, as I said in my earlier post, in general, a K26 compressor wheel will produce more power than a K24. Hence why a popular upgrade for the S2 is to fit an RS2 turbo.

Standard S2 turbo has a K24 compressor wheel
Standard RS2 turbo has a K26 compressor wheel

With regard to the Porsche unit in question, it is listed as a K26 turbo. This in fact has a K27 compressor wheel fitted to it, and KKK currently produce over 70 different variations of the K27 compressor wheel.

Ring MRC and speak to Mihnea and see if you still feel that way

It's a common misconception that a bigger compressor wheel will make more power.

This is not the case as the wheel design must be taken into consideration.

For instance there are new wheels available for the Garrett GT turbo's that are smaller than the originals that make more power.

Unfortunately this will be of no use to you as this particular turbo would be one of two turbos fitted to that Porsche engine. It's a flat 6 engine of 2.65 litres, therefore each turbo will be responsible for 3 cylinders of just over 1.3 litres, which is very different to a 5 cylinder engine of 2.2 litres

Jamo, in general a K26 will make more power than a K24 by virtue of the fact that it's a bigger compressor wheel, however the downside is more lag

Most straight K26 make 300bhp same as a K24 except with a lot more lag.

They need to be a hybrid of housing and wheels to get decent performance

I know ive just asked the question, but ive just done some digging....

found a website called www.turbo-product.com

the website lists turbos, by manufacturer of turbo, or by car

so i looked at the KKK section and found the AUSF-NR 5326 970 6024 is a porsche part no. for a turbo for the 1982- 956 (635BHP Le Mans car) 2.6L turbo

not sure if its any use to me still though.. lol

K26 turbo's I would advise to steer clear of. They make less power than the stock K24 but with more lag.

The only decent one is the K26/K27 hybrid

Your going need to post up some photos to get an answer I expect.
