Wicked Wheel questions
I think I am about sold on installing a Wicked Wheel while the turbo is still in the truck based upon the instructions on the Black Cloud Diesel website. It doesn't seem that bad. It seems like most of the labor is uninstalling the intake and exhaust? I am planning on putting my MBRP exhast and new intake on anyway so it doesn't seem to be much more work if I install it at the same time?
It seems that there are at least a couple different "Wicked Wheels" out there, which one is everybody referring to? Is there actually one called "The Wicked Wheel"? I saw one on Black Cloud Diesel called the superior wheel and another brand on a different sponsors site? It also sounds like there are many O-rings that I should replace at the same time, is there a kit with the wheel and the O-rings or does someone have a good link to buy everything that I will need. I can't wait to wake this sucker up!!

There all the same wheel, I happened to buy the superior wheel from BCD (awsome by the way your gonna love it) fairly easy install too, especially if you doing exhaust at the same time. No O-rings are needed unless your removing the turbo. Unless your refering to the one at the inlet- but I just reused mine.

I don't know if they are made by the same manufacturer, but this one comes with the o-rings.

the "swisher wheel", "wicked wheel", "Superior wheel" "(whatever Banks calls theirs)" yada yada yada are all made by the same parent company. the retailers buy them and put their own name on them. however, Wicked wheel sounds the best.

they all make the same sound, they are the SAME thing. i prefer "wicked wheel", the TERM sounds cooler than "swisher" or "superior".

If I install the WW with the kwik filter mod, when will I get the dreaded compressor stall? After these mods are in place what should I set my superchip at 40, 80, 100 hp?
Also even though it is slightly off-topic; should I do the CCV mod at the same time? What will my gains or losses be with all of these?
