yeah, the 6.0's use a VASTLY different turbo than the 7.3. the wicked wheel is available for GTP38/GTP38R turbos only, i believe (the one on the 7.3) since the 6.0 turbo spins clockwise, and the 7.3 turbo spins counter clock wise, the same wheel couldn't work, even if it could fit.

no, sorry for confusion- the "wicked wheel" is a replacement compressor wheel to elmiminate turbo surge/stall and add alot of awesome-whistle to 1999+ 7.3 powerstrokes.

Turbo wheel
What are people doing to the 6.0 to make them whistle so loudly? I've been behind other trucks and can hear theirs over my engine whistle,I would greatly like to make it SING. Thanks.

Nothing. It's the nature of the engine and turbo. The variable vanes pretty much all do this. You think the 6.0 has some whistle? You should hear the new 14L Detroit 60 series 525HP monster in our new Seagrave. It has a variable vane turbo and the thing sings like no other. It seriously sounds like a jet.
