WW install thanks

i forgot who wrote the install without removing the turbo,but thanks a bunch! looking at that up-pipe behind the turbo and my back problems scared the you know what out of me. still pretty damn sore after two days but still saved me several hours mechanics fee! anyone replacing their compressor wheel can be assured the turbo does not need to be removed!!!

I hope you enjoy it. How do you like the sound with the WW and the 6637? Its music to the ears.

after the install, did you notice an increase in power, was it more responsive, and was the turbo louder ?
I was thinking about installing one

The turbo will definitely be louder - but the WW isn't gonna gain you anything other then getting rid of turbo surge/stutter. It won't gain you any performance - it is actually a little LESS efficient than the stock wheel - which is how it cures the surge - but you may actually LOOSE a boost psi # or 2....
