This idiot at the turbo shop here in town is now saying that there is no such thing as surge on a diesel due to the fact that there is no throttle body. So I guess everyone else in the world has no idea what they are talking about. He has pretty much contradicted everything I have ever heard about a wicked wheel or any variation. He says it is a horsepower only mod and that it gives you around 50 hp and 100lb ft tq.

Over.

Here is a recording of mine that I made years ago, pulling a big hill in Utah with the trailer attached and a 6637 filter under the hood.

Thanks Dan. My turbo whistles a lot more then that. Even without a load, just driving down the road, the whistle is louder then that. I wish I could post vids. I can post pics. I might post a pic of the whistle.
