Compressor wheel advice

I know it has been discussed and I have read most posts regarding wheels, just curious as to what everyone is using and opinions. I am trying to decide between Riff Raff's billet and WW II. I have stock turbo and injectors, Hydra with Gearhead, intake and 4" exhaust. I get surging when towing and want to eliminate that. I also would like any improvements on performance if a certain wheel is capable. Thanks fellers.

There really isn't anything else to be said about this $100 part...

Just get RiffRaff's marvelous creatiion and educate yourself on how to PROPERLY replace it.

Plenty of youtube morons putting it into a vice.

Yep. It's that simple. Get the RR part and install it.

if still with stock turbo and stock sticks, i would recommend to do what i did, get either the RR wheel, or the WWII, i went with the WWII, from what i gather they offer similar performance. Also do yourself a favor and get the turbomaster wastegate controller. You wont regret it. Surge is gone, spools up much quicker, significant increase is total boost. I was getting max at 25-27 psi boost, now i can routinely peg my 30 psi gauge at will.
