This is the message I just received from the seller of the WW on ebay

Dear 1dieselman,

Who says its in testing stages? Our customers love this wheel. Faster spool and power gains. We have a large quantity because we sell lots of them! Let me know if you have other questions thanks.

- pureturbos

I'm not sure what is going on here but I sure would like to know.

Re: any new results on the new wicked wheel

That company also sells a "d66". It has the same specks as the beans one and the exact same description. Look up big bad Ford turbo. Its also only 850. Their company is only an hour away from me. Might have to pay them a visit

As I've said before, billet versions of the BW 170293 have been out for awhile. We are making new wheels with new profiles.

What the EBay user is doing is trademark infringement by using my name. He's also deceiving customers. POND SCUM comes to mind. I have a call into the owner.

Ask them where to find some of the customer reviews....Dieselsite is still in the developement stage of the WW2, hence the beta testing. Maybe somebody else has come up with something, but dont you think us knuckleheads would have heard about it.

The fact that they are using any termination having to do with wicked wheel is going to land them a lawsuit I would think

Thats what it is being tested for. I have stage 1 injectors and will be putting it on saturday. Have heard that people are seeing lower egt's so it would be a plus for thos without an IC if that is true

I'm really curious to see how the performance compares to stock as well as a D66.

If this wheel provides performance even close to a D66, for the cost savings of nearly $1,000. I could buy this wheel and an e fuel kit. (Yes, I know one can build an E fuel kit for much less than a $1,000).

If my EGTs get any lower at cruise speeds, my gauge won't even be able to read it. I am at 300 degrees now cruising at 60 on a flat highway. My analog gauge starts reading at 300 degrees. However, i do have an ATS intercooler.

The compressor housing is bigger on the d66 so that increase volume of air, although boost is higher on the stocker. I am really anxious to see what this wheel will do on my truck. I have 160/80s on mine. I'm only seeing 23-25 psi right now. But I might have a small up pipe leak when I did the donut gaskets...so I might be leaving some power on the table. Tht and Bill is going to see it soon hopefully to tweak the tuning and live tune it, that is if I can ever get some time to go down.....
