Exclamation Turbo Wheel Replacement flutter studder prob

I have noticed my truck has been starting to flutter or studder when i get on the pedal hard like it dont want to rev up but after it shifts down it will be alright. I was looking at my turbo compressor wheel and noticed it has some small chips in it and one of the ends of one fin is bent back. Is this the problem? If so how do I go about replacing the wheel? A how to would be nice, any special tools? Where should i get my wheel? Anything else i should replace?

Wow, bent compressor wheel fins dont leave much to the imagination. I would replace it ASAP. I'd call up BDP and talk with Dusty and tell him you want a new turbo wheel. Maybe see if you can get a custom mapped one for your injectors. Good luck

My original wheel was dusted for lord knows how long and I bent my $75 wicked wheel installing it and finally got it fixed up with a 00+ wheel from rons ebay store for like $20. It has maybe 1/32-1/16 inch of play in it not much at all but it will only get worse.
