    Can a turbo grow?

    More specifically, is it possible to rebuild a turbo and make it bigger in the process??

    Yeah send it off to get rebuilt and tell him how big you want it. You can only go so big though until you just need to upgrade.

    When I purchased my STS from jamest he had switched the wheel(?) to make my 60 a 67. But to make a 60 a 70 you need to buy the 70 intake from my understand.

    what exactly are you trying to accomplish?

    there mightbe more ways to accomplish your goal besides actually making the turbo bigger...
