DIfference Between Turbos on Regular and Grp A GT-Fours

Hey guys. I've lined up a turbo to buy, but was wondering whether or not the Grp A ST185 Turbo came with ceramic internals or not?
My current turbo suffered a slight oil leak, destroying it and i've decided that if i'm to replace it, i may aswell replace it with a turbo which can withstand higher levels of boost than 6psi.
Thanks in advance.

the jdm st185's have the ceramic wheel and the aust 185's hav a steel wheel.the ceramic wheel can handle about 15psi,then it dies.i think the steel one can handle more.
but i think the ceramic is better  for low boost applications.
sorry not too sure

What turbo did they use on the ST165 Group A rally cars...I read in some dodgy book that it was a KKK turbocharger - but they'd have to actually put those things in a road car to get them homologated for rally - but I've never heard of a group A special ST165???

I'd have to spend a ,ot more money on the car to beat gumby, joel. To beat him would be a rather stupid and expensive pursuit. At least we all know i can blow you off the park by halfway through second gear!! j/k

oh HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Yeah how about this, I launch while I watch your 4wd bog down, then you overtake me on the straight true, then we get to a corner, yours understeers and is too heavy to boost out while I am in and around and gone, repeat process.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

ahhh yeah, yeah man, yeah
who said anything about wheelspin, MR2's dont wheelspin man, they grab traction and launch, and will handle better through a corner than any 4wd will  sure you'll have me on the stright through less power, but I am afraid
ohh well I am not reply to here anymore bye
