Compressor wheel options for a L99

I am needing to replace my compressor wheel, my truck is bone stock btw. I have an E99 turbo I could use the wheel from, its new but I dont know if it will interchange tho. Ive heard good and bad about wicked wheels, or is there something else thats better.

The wheel will work, it will lower your boost level a couple of psi, good if you are having surge issues. Maybe a little quicker spool up too. You can get a direct replacement too if you wanted.

By "quicker spool up" do you mean you get boost sooner? I dont really get any power from the turbo until around 2k RPMs. I think thats normal, but sometimes I'd like to have a little more OOMF at lower RPMs.

But I'm not looking for anything serious. Just a thought.
