Wicked Wheel

Hey guys I wanna get a Wicked Wheel, and like anything else I would like your opinions. What do you guys think? Also, Clay if you are picking up this transmission, can you get me a good price on one.

After I installed my DP Tuner, I was getting surge BAD. I installed the wicked wheel & the problem is gone it also has a nice whistle to it, which is an added bonus..

I put my WW in before I did my DP tuner (minutes before). I love it and the sound it lets off.

WW is worth it, no more surge.

Same here. Pre WW, surge, post WW, no surge. And more pronounced whistle. Definately worth it.

The WW did its job for me too. But now that I have the van turbo, I decided to keep the stock wheel and go with the ATS ported housing. I think it's worth it. Definitely changes the sound of the turbo (a lot of the Darth Vader breathing sounds go away). More overall whistle, but it's not as loud as the WW gets. There's a definite peak in the WW, the ATS with stock wheel has a more constant level of whistle over a more broad RPM range. And there is a constant whistle just tooling down the highway at 70MPH. I like it. LOL
