Wicked wheel

I was thinking about installing a wicked in my turbo but was wondering how much benefits am I going to get from it?

They make a wicked for 6.7 turbos? I thought these were variable vane and better than a wicked. I know on the7.3 they made a huge difference, but those were fixed rotors too.

Here are the parts I used.

Nice tailpipe whistle, similar to a 6.0 but not quite as loud.

did you notice any performance improvements?

Compressor wheels are still fixed geometry. The variable geometry is on the turbine side.
