Pretty sure mine was manufactured in 2/98 so that would make it an early 99? Glad MESTRKR made this post cuz I was 'bout to do the same. Also too I've seen on some other post sites talk about a "wicked wheel"? Where abouts can I find info on'em? Thanks folks!!!

Yeah, I had the old style airbox, but believe i have a 99.5 compressor wheel and maybe the turbo too.

My build date says 11/98 but has 99.5 intake/airbox so go fiqure. It's frustrating when trying to order performance stuff that needs to specify built date, because I don't know what I should put down. When I tried to order my cold air intake they asked for build date, then proceeded to tell me there wasn't anything available but a replacement filter. I ended up ordering a intake for a newer model and it fit just fine. Your guess is as good as mine on build date "cutoff".

So then I don't need to worry about figurin' early 99 or 99.5 out when I order parts? Sorry I sound like a dumba$$.

It just keeps us guessing all the time
