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 will measure when I get my hands on one that is stripped, I have checked one that belongs to a friend (who BTW is not using it for fear of it failing) and what I can say is that the top of the compressor is about 55 mm and the bottom about 74-75 mm, the throat is about 7 mm deep, measured from the edge to the top of the compressor blades. Maybe we will use this one as a experiment to see if the modified intake will work. Just need to convince my friend!
