Wink performance compressor wheel

I just recently bought a compressor wheel for my pick up, haven't installed it yet but I was wondering how pleased everyone else is with theirs and what kind of performance will it add ( lower egt, turbo flutter, any noises) ??

The wicked wheel will give you NO performance gains whatsoever. It will give you a new/louder turbo whine when you punch it, and mine took care of the horrible surge I had after I got my flip chip. The ONLY thing the new wheels are meant to do is eliminate the potentially damaging compressor surge that is common with tuner/chipped PSD's - and that's it.
