the WW, banks wheel, power wheel or what ever the seller calls it..there all the same early 99 wheel..just a matter of who you want to give your cash too...it will stop/slow turbo surge that you get when adding a chip or pull long steep gades with a load...

I have both the WW and the ATS housing,Im actually getting ready to re install my stock comp. wheel, I know everybody says the WW creates the same amount of boost...but I still dont think so(just my .02 worth)

the WW will give you same boost a little faster..maybe 2 or 3 lb's less..but the stock wheel flows more air..

the WW flows less air and spins faster to get the boost level cause every other fin is shorter..the stock wheel..all fins are the same hight so it flows more air..takes longer to spool cause its pushing more air at a lower speed.....

i can put 120 PSI in a portable air tank to fill a tire..corse it takes for ever to blow one up... it starts out faster ...but it runs out of air at the end of the tank...i can put the same 120 PSI in a 60 gal tank but blow up the same tire faster because there is more air to push it.....boost and air volume are not the same...
