ATS vs WICKED WHEEL

I am having my up pipes replaced and the turbo will be removed so I want to know whether the Turbo wheel or housing is the way to go and most of all WHY??????

There is a $300.00 price difference between the 2 parts and I need to pros and cons to justify the price difference if ATS is the way to go.

Thanks in Advance.

I have both. I installed the wheel first and it did get rid of the surge. And added more whistle too.I read in a thread in the 7.3 forum that adding the ats housing with the wheel would make her sing more. With the ats housing it comes with the 4" boot which makes it easier to do the 6637 air filter mod. If money is tight the wheel will do you good.

Cool, How bad is the whine? I do a lot for traveling and dont want to listen to that the whole trip. If it is just during acceleration and what not I like to here it, but not the whole time I am in the truck.

With the housing and the wheel you get alot of whine from the engine compartment. Think you'll be ok with just the wheel. You get some. Hope that helps
