Wicked wheel, basically its the turbo impeller that came stock in the early 99 but was changed in the 99.5-03 models. It is a little louder but it helps prevent the turbo from surging under high boost conditions when modding the truck to run harder than stock settings. They cost around $75 and in my opinion is a good investment if running over 20 psi boost or if you’re having surging issues. If a turbo is allowed to surge too much it will break eventually like mine did. The WW is not a complete cure for surge but it does seem to help it a lot and is relatively cheap.
