Riffraff 6/6 Billet Wheel

I installed a RiffRaff Billet 6/6 wheel today. First of all it took a lot of the lag out of my van turbo and cleaned up some smoke also. WOT I went from 28 psi to 32psi on boost. Highway run is what impressed me! Normal at 75mph boost gauge read 0psi. Now it sets at 5psi at 75mph and 2200rpm. Very happy with it so far. I'll see how it effects fuel mileage next.

Enjoy the turbo ****!

Brad... congrats on the turbo upgrade! I have Clay's wheel for the 38R and it is nice, even though I haven't fixed all of my boost leaks. When I get the leaks fixed it is going to be fun!

Yeah, Brad, I'm real curious to hear how it sounds vs the stock wheel.

0psi at 75mph? Seems weird to me, my stock turbo runs around 2-4psi at 70mph.

Brad has a van turbo with 1.15 A/R turbine housing. Its lower drive pressure is why he was seeing the less boost at speed than that of a stock turbo with a .84 A/R housing.

I'm in the process of in stalling the van turbo. Is your Van turbo stock or do you have the ATS housing?

Look like this Billet wheel is in my near future.... thx for sharing
