Anyone

Using this wheel?

http://www.xtremediesel.com/index.as...ROD&ProdID=260

If so, how do you like it? and does it install the same way as a regular wicked wheel?

Well, it appears the site is undergoing maintenance but it looks like a wicked wheel to me. What was the price?

Same thing as wicked wheel, however when I spoke to them over the phone about two weeks ago they were out of stock. Backordered for about a month or so.

I forgot where I read it, and maybe someone can back me up or correct me if I'm wrong, but all these wicked wheels, xtreme wheels, Banks turbo wheels; are all made by the same company Switzer. Just marketed under different names.

Anyway, if you do plan on buying it from xtremediesel; make sure they have it in stock first. I believe it was "indebt" here on the forum that bought from them and then found out afterwards they were out of stock so he's still waiting.

I tried to order that wheel from them and they said that it was back ordered till sometime in Feb. but they have no idea so I canceled the order. I ordered mine from Pure Diesel Power on Mon got it Weds. Don't forget to get some o rings for you turbo, I know that some people change them with the turbo on but I would rather take it off.Dave

Yeah, that shouldn't be a piece of garbage but I never order from someone who does not have it in stock. Not worth the few bucks saved when you end up with nothing.

Redneckboy that WW will not completly cure the turbo stalling. It will remove about 90% of it, but there will always be a little bit at certain times.
It's a very worthwhile purchase for the price and it will sound much more like a real turbo than the stocker will.
But if you want to absolutly cure your stalling, then you need to get a ported intake housing or a 1.15 exhaust housing.

I also ordered one from them about three months ago and ended up cancelling my order since i had to keep calling them and got the same answer that it will be back ordered for another couple weeks and then when the time came got the same answer so got a refund. Good price but unreliable source.
