who is running what wheels?

I have switched to a van turbo about a year ago because it was free and I was sick of the surging. I installed a OBS wheel at a recommendation of a freind and been thinking of switching to a new ww2 (clays version), I did a little reading and read that the obs wheel stops the surging in the stock turbo and people were saying that you lose hp and a few psi with that wheel..

My van turbo is a 1.10ar. with my stock wheel help light the van turbo better? will it surge in the van turbo? has anyone done the new wheel in the Van turbo?

 

I went with this one on my van turbo and it worked great.

did you have a ported housing? I dont..

 

No, but we don't have to worry about surge with the 1.15 housing. Worked great in my stock housing.

 

here are a couple of threads to look at.


Van turbo with WW2:

Robert6401 has run a quite a few different combinations including a ported housing, some good - some not so good. I would talk with him.

ive read those. lol Ive since added stage one injectors and tuning from Clay.. Now its a whole new truck, but the turbo does light a bit too late. wont the new lighter wheel spool quicker solving this issue?

I dunno maybe im just used to my truck now but it seems to light real late. the noise that I spoke of was only in crusing say on flat land at 2000rpm @70. I dont care how much noise it makes when working lol..

 

I'm not sure how much of the lag you will remove without changing the A/R housing since the turbine wheel catching the exhaust gasses is what makes the world turn here. But I would think Duck Fan and Clay would know better on that direct comparison.
