Hi Im new here i have a 2001 f250 7.3 with 210,000 miles on it im thinking of upgrading the turbo wheel to a wicked wheel 2 just wondering if it will improve me fuel mileage and worried if the stock turbo will take the upgraded boost i have stock air filter stock injectors but have a 6 position ts chip and straight 3 inch exhaust. any input will be truly appreciated. their are so many wheels and at different price range little confusing, thanks

I wouldn't expect a mpg gain.

They are fine on a stock turbo.

All of them perform similar. The 6/6 design has the best top end.

Do a diy 6637 Intake instead of the stock setup.

6 high blades 6 low.

Kc is the only company that sells this version of the billet wheels

Never heard of that.

I've used a barder 360 kit and a cheap Amazon 360 kit both worked well.

I like riffraffs billet wheel for 180

I just installed the barder billet wheel and 360 thrust bearing kit a few weeks ago. Absolutely love it! Better spool and lowered egts about 50 degrees. Also noticed a 2 mpg increase but i started using rev-x fuel additive at the same time so i'm not sure who i can give the credit for that. James Barder is a great guy to deal with and answered all the questions i had.
