I would go with a wicked wheel like this one. https://www.dieselpowerproducts.com/...ke-170293.aspx
Others will probably chime in and i might be wrong as i dont know much about turbos but i have heard good things about the wicked wheel.

If I'm not mistaken, the wicked wheel is an upgrade for the SD, not the OBS. They changed the wheel on the 99 models. I think it is the exact same wheel ours came with stock. But if yours is trashed it should be a good replacement.

Ya, its a replacement for our turbos, thats why i gave him the link since his is trashed. If he wants to upgrade then im not sure which one to go with. As far as changing the housing, if your upgrading injectors i think you should stay with stock housing which i believe is 1.15 actually. The smaller housings will just yeild boost faster but it comes with higher EGT's.
