HX35 turbo- rebuild? upgrade?

if anyone had an idea if the mamba brand billet wheels for HX35 are OK/ they are considerably cheaper than Wicked wheels, but they may all be made in china for all I know? Also there are a lot of numbers there that I don’t understand, 45.95 / 81.30 mm ) 6+6
because I thought all HX35’s were created equal?? Mine is off a 96 Auto truck.
Is there anyone on here on the forums that rebuilds them? thanx- Crossy

With the HX35, most 12v ones are 8 blade compressor wheel and most 24v are 7 blade. No idea if wheels themselves are interchangeable. That's about all I got.

I just bought a holset rebuild kit on Amazon for an hx35 for $55. Turbo has good wheels and housings, just a lot of shaft play.. In my opinion, by the time you rebuild the turbo, install a billet wheel, and get it balanced, you could've just bought a used he351 and been ahead in performance.
