I looked at the pics and speculated that there could be an intake issue. I work on turbines and there is a lot of data here especially in the pics to suggest possible intake issues. I don't see much to suggest it is not. I asked what the diamater of the wheel is. I would also like to know what the depth of the throat is because it looks shallow but I doubt anyone will reply with dimensions. As for the Wren 160 CNC compressor wheel, I had one show up on a nexus (simjet). I dont see simjets blowing comp wheels... The intake is substatially deeper on those so I would start in the area of the intake. It makes the most sense.

I expect Wren do not come to internet forums in order to avoid arguments.
As to those who speculate about the intake, unless you are a professional turbine designer with access to highly complex empirical and theoretical data, you are just speculating bollocks.
