I dont know of any "aftermarket" compressor wheels without a different compressor housing. Someone else will be along to help you further on this, as I dont know all about the aftermarket on our trucks...

welcome to the ORG!

The only aftermarket wheel i know of for a stock housing is the ww. Doesn't give you higher boost or hp but it helps with surge. As for the wastegate, there is a way to adjust your stock one.

ok where do i find out about adjusting the stk one my truck only puts out 17lbs of boost and the only See's that for 10sec when i first get into the throttle really hard also trying to purchase a 6.0L intercooler to help lower egts a little until i can afford an after market on

If your running the programmer you should be seeing more then 17psi. Stock is around 20-22 psi. I would be looking for a boost leak. Check the Cac tubes that go to the intercooler. Remove the CAI and reach in and check the compressor wheel for damage or excessive play from the shaft.
