Hey was wondering if anyone was running one on their 7.3L? How hard is the install and is their any performance gain other then stopping turbo surge? Thanks Hunter

I have the USA housing and the install was very easy, just dont lose that c clip where the wastegate rod connects to exhaust housing. no other performance gains, whistle is a little more prominent but thats about the only difference besides stopping the surge.

Billet compressor wheel will stop surge and give you performance gains.

the first generation wheels actually lost some boost when used with the ats housing.
have not herd the combo of the two with the newer wheels but imagine you would have less surge but less peak boost. no one has really commented on that.

my e99 has the original wheel so I have never seen surge on my truck..now if you get larger injectors I have heard an e99 will surge. not sure if that is the same for a 99.5+ superduty as I have not seen anyone says my truck still surges with the new wheel.

Thanks for the info guys! Do you have to pull the turbo to install the ww2 or is their a way you can do it and leave it on the truck?

Ok is it hard to hold the fins like that?
 
#12 ·
Why anyone would go that far and not just pull the turbo is beyond me...

Turbo can be out in 30 minutes, which is worth it not to lay across the ####ing cowl...

it saves two orings...lol
unfortunately mine has to come out and prob the up pipes...
too bad they don't have a bellow kit for e99 at a reasonable price.
not only is it over double but they only give you a left and right .

wish I could weld because that is a bs price.

I've swapped turbos on my truck at least 40 times... Put one set of O rings on it that entire time...

Why would you need to replace a set of O-rings that are not leaking.

In fact the set under my pedistal right now I believe are the factory one's from this 96 motor I am running now...

Haven't hit 40 times yet but at least 10 times. Keep q spare set of rungs in the parts drawer just in case I find a nasty one.
