A turbocharger for use with an internal combustion engine includes a compressor wheel having a central hub having a centerline, a root portion and an end portion. A plurality of blades is formed around the central hub. The plurality of blades includes a group of full-blades extending from the root portion of the central hub up to a maximum distance from the root portion along the centerline, the maximum distance being adjacent the end portion of the central hub. The plurality of blades further includes a group of partial-blades, the partial-blades extending from the root portion of the hub to an area along the centerline that is between 40% and 55% of the maximum distance along the centerline, and the plurality of blades is organized in repeating sets of blades arranged around the compressor wheel, each repeating set including at least one full-blade and at least one partial-blade.
