I have my turbo out and while its out I was going to have it rebuilt for good measure, I have someone who can do the rebuild for me but while he had it apart I was wondering if it would be worth it to upgrade the compressor and flywheel. I found a few options for that online but I am somewhat new to the turbo world and not sure if these upgrades would be worth it and actually improve anything. My goals for this car is around 300 WHP. I have listed the options I have found below. I really appreciate any guidance or input you may have.

You might want to consider Charlie at Evergreen Turbos to do your rebuild. He's done thousands and has time-tested (no risk, no finger-crossing) options to suit just about any goal.

Your rebuilder and those other parts might work out fine, but I mention Charlie because you say you are new to the turbo world, and thought it worth alerting you to to the 944 community's go-to guy. :)

I called him, his raptor build is a little outside of my budget right now but he for sure does sound like the best option

Id ask your turbo guy what he thinks and how much it would cost for those upgrades, I think you'll find it not much off Charlies known product.

I am pretty skeptical about those websites. Lots of garbage out there on the internet.

Personally I would not put those pieces in my car.

I would save the money and go with Charlie for my car.

Or save up and see if Chris White has a Zona Rotor that would work better for you.
