I've had a Q trim T72 on my mkiv Supra for about 4 years now. Its a great turbo, spools well and makes 415rwkw (about 700hp at engine) at 21psi on pump gas. Unfortunately on checking it I have found that something went through the exhaust side damaging the turbine wheel and I would like to get a new shaft for it to be on the safe side.

What I would like to know is, can I use a new F1-68 shaft with my old T72 exhaust housing and center section? It says on the Turbonetics site that you need the new F1 housings but I would prefer just to machine my exhaust housing a little bit if thats all that is required to fit the new wheel. Does anyone know if this is possible?
Unfortunataly machining it probably won't work. we tried doing that with a new F1 T3 wheel and an application specific housing but the results were mixed. Your best bet is to get the turbine housing for that wheel.
