Need help...and fast!
Hey guys (and girls)...Long story short, Dieselsite.com ****** up my order for a wicked wheel that I need by Saturday because I'm driving 4 hours to Ricks shop to have him help me rebuild my turbo. I just got an e-mail saying that the wheel is on back-order...so I'm screwed. I was wondering if anyone knows who stocks a wicked wheel and if they can ship it in one day. Please help and thanks in advance.

ok I just had a brain fart. Do yall think that I could go to autozone or some other big chain autoparts store and get a stock wheel for an early 99 (which should be a wicked wheel, right?) Maybe this will work, I'm about to google it right now.

I just checked NAPA and no luck there. What about Ron's Turbo Service http://www.ronsturboservice.com/turbochargers.cfm
He may have one and just have it shipped right to Ricks.

Good one!!!! I've never been to Lake Charles before...plus, I was in PANIC MODE for a minute there and may have been freaking out a little. Not to worry though, I found a diesel shop in Baton Rouge that I will call tomorrow, and I know a guy that works for an International dealer here in New Orleans so maybe between the two I can work something out, hopefully!

Chad,
Hopes this works out for you. I don't know where I could find one on short notice. If I already had the GTP38R, I ordered today, we could put my current turbo set up on there.

It will have the 1.0 WG housing. I plan to put my Turbo Master WG Controller on it. I am going to send in the compressor housing to Bob @ DS and have it machined before I install it.
Hook it, I'll pull it.

Wow, how things can change. Let me know what is going on Chad. I still have my stock wheel and it is in perfect shape. If you can't get one, we can put that one on for the time being.
