Wicked Wheel

Dumb question from a new guy here. By the way this site is awesome and full of great info. I have a 99 Powerstroke build date of 11/98. Why can I not get the wicked wheel for my truck?

based on the information i have recieved the early 99's have the wicked wheel disign, they were changed after that to reduce turbo noise, Dumb if you ask me, thats half the fun of owning a diesel. I would be greatful however, its not hard, but definately not fun pulling the turbo out to install.

http://www.fordtruckenthusiasts.com/...45368511FSvypD There is the link to a picture of a stock compressor wheel provided in another post "rear pusher turbo" hope it works. anyway, the wicked wheel is a replacement wheel with a different fin design to help reduce surge and stall of the turbo.
