Turbo Stall ??

I've had my flip chip and 4" exhaust in for a couple of weeks now and I definitely notice a noise when I get on it...sounds like someone whispering the word "what" repeatedly as fast as they can.

Is that what turbo stall sounds like?

For most cases and 99% of the time the wicked wheel will fix it like strokin said. The ats housing is said to be a guaranteed fix for it and will allow you to keep your stock wheel, but it does cost more. Do a search and you will find many threads on turbo surge, wicked wheel, and ats housing.

Yep, the Wicked, Swisher, and Banks aftermarket wheels all look identical and do exactly the same thing. You will find different prices out there, I went with the Wicked Wheel from dieselsite.com. Great Mod, everyone is doing it....HAHA...
