the star wheel cover is on the afc. there is a screw in top of the afc and once you unscrew that, you will see in the hole, the star wheel. if you are still confused, look up "cummins star wheel" on google images and you should be able to tell from the pictures.

gives you more fuel. More fuel = more hp, but its fuel under boost. The star wheel adjusts the tension on the spring.
