Talking Which Turbo Wheel

I am looking to upgrade my turbo wheel from stock on my 2002 F250. I have 250k miles on my truck right now. It is all stock and just wanted to do some little upgrades, one being the turbo wheel. I have heard about the wicked wheel, and a few others. just want to know opinions. Thanks in advance!

I have Clay's 6x6 wheel and like it just fine. A bit of whistle at ~ 5-7 PSI boost and coming off of load but I am running an open type filter set up.

There are a lot of people using the RR Billet wheel with great results. Check it out at the link below.

Another vote on the RR wheel, I loved mine. Killed the surge problems I was getting like a champ. Right up until the turbo took a poop and took the wheel with it.

Is the 6x6 wheel a direct drop in or do you have to modify anything with a stock turbo? What are the advantages over the RR billet wheel?

The 6x6 is Clay's billet wheel first generation. His current billet wheel is a 4x4. From what I understand it is quieter, and better in certain areas vs the 6x6. I have no regrets getting the 6x6 billet wheel. Surge while towing is gone. I hear some whistle. but no worse than my ears ringing. The only downfall is my mileage while towing has slightly gone down,,,,,,,, I can keep my foot in the throttle and POWER over the hills that I could not even think about keeping my foot in the throttle because of turbo surge, and it is great!!
