Wicked Wheel???

[kefier2001]

Got a little extra play money, and I am thinking about upgrading the turbo wheel. Which one is the best bang for the buck? I also plan on removing the EBPV while I am at it. Your input is greatly appreciated as you guys haven't led me wrong! Thanks!

They are all the same. Just get the cheapest one you can find. It will have 5 blades vise the 7 on the crappy compressor wheel.

I thought mine had the same number of blades on it, just alternating length??

anyways, i love mine, its an X-Wheel you can pick them up for 65-70?

great sound!

I would also like to hear a wicked wheel.

If ya'll want to here a Wicked Wheel, just listen to a OBS truck. It's what gives them that smooth wistle.

Other than the sound, what are the benefits of installing a WW? Do you build higher boost? About how much time does the installation require?

[Lord Tauk]

Turbo surge can be cured using a WW, I've read that.

WW or whatever the other vendors offer and a good compressor housing seem to be the best choice without upgrading to a better turbo.

Would a wheel do anything for an early 99? Whats the best rout to go if not?

The Wheel all but cured my surging, only if I back out at HIGH levels will I hear a small surge. I have honestly not tested it with a huge load yet, but I know just from driving it that the surging is 99% gone under normal conditions. And that is what 99% of my driving is.

The install took us a little over 3 hours taking the turbo off the truck. But that was with experienced guys helping me out!

Here are some pictures of the way we did it!

We also removed my wastegate actuator in the process.

If I can come up with a good way to record the turbo noise, I'll do it, but my cell phone wasn't gonna cut it

Anyone have suggestions to record with?
