Wicked wheel is in
With A LOT of help from Kris, who generously offered for me to come down to his sweet shop, I got my wicked wheel in yesterday. No more surge, and a sweet whistle. Thanks again Kris (and Kenny).

Glad to hear you had such knowledgeable help Adam. Looking at your signature, it looks like your truck has come a long way in the last 6 months. I hope I remembered to warn you this stuff can become addicting once you get started.

Joe, if we help riverrat install his wicked wheel, does that mean we'll be doing the seniors version of this event?

Dang boys you don't know how lucky you are to have a guy like Kris with his knowledge and his garage close by. I got to use my cousins garage this weekend for the brakes, a little heat but better then out in the open! Great job on the install guys!

The "Wicked Wheel" is a compressor wheel for the turbo that has every other blade a bit shorter. Eliminates turbo surge.

Here is a link http://dieselpowerproducts.com/catal...sor-Wheel.html
