here's a photo of what it looks like. (the example shows one powder coated)
This is not a Forced Performance compressor wheel





I'm able to do it as long as the cartridge and turbine wheel/shaft are in good order. It takes about 4 days, and you're looking at $500 to make, install and rebalance. (It would have to be rebalanced even if I had a new OEM GT3076R.

Let me know if this is a possibility for you.
