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.

K26/6 upgrades compressor and turbine upgrades?

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 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.
