What advantages to a Wicked wheel???

[E'sStrokr01]

Are there noticeable gains? Or is it a REALLY good upgrade? Just looking for basic information concerning the upgrade, etc.

Thanks

It is a great way to reduce or in some case get rid of turbo surge. It also sonds good.

This is not a HP builder.

Not to hijack thread but.. how bout installing it? I'm not like "well versed" i guess you could say on turbo's etc but I can do my fair share of work, and my dad can do alot more than me. Is it easy? and whats this about balancing the wheel or w.e? or am I making up things? lol..

Thanks...

It is an easy install. Weather you pull the shroud or pull the whole turbo its not to bad to install. It is suggested that you balance them but I know plenty of folks that have not and have had no troubles out of it.

how do you "balance" it? Can this be done just by taking off the shroud or does the who turbo have to be removed to balance it?

Where is the best place to buy one?

I was wondering what it was or did. I would sooo screw that up. I have the worst luck.

dumb question but what are you balanceing

The wicked wheel is a turbo wheel that has vaired length fins on it to help it spool up faster (and give a really cool turbo whistle). The wheel should be balanced inside the turbo so it doesn't get ruined (kinda the same reason you balance your tires but comppletely different).
