Turbo Wheel Change
How do I tell if my turbo wheel has been changed/upgraded? My turbo seems to be louder than any of the trucks I have heard around here, but could it be that my truck has 4 1/2" straight pipe, making it loud?

No worries.
Stock wheel (kinda blurry, dang Ebay pic)
Stock early 99 wheel, aka wicked wheel
Yours should look like the first pic, notice that the early 99 wheel has different lengths of the vanes on the wheel.

Here's an animated .gif I made a while back. Not that it matters right now, since you got your question answered. I just like posting it.

You should put that in your gallery so we can steal it next time this question comes up.

The gallery doesn't like .gif files. But you can right click the image and save the path to it for later if you like. For me using FireFox, I can copy the image location directly to the clipboard -- not sure how IE works. Probably right-click --> properties or something like that. I stuck it in the Images directory where my website lives. It was the only way to put it somewhere that didn't convert to something else (like Webshots.com).

Joe that's nice but you should have put the two wheels exactly in the same place on the table so the wood grain was identical. Sloppy sloppy man....
I tried to rep you, but I too have to "spread it around"...
