just a ? why do u want to replace thewheel r u having problems with surge or just wanted it to whistle more?

as i understand it is four bolts to remove the wheel housing and then the bolt that holds on the wheel. there is a video on utube that the guy does it in 15-30 mins

Here is the video that i was talking about

ok. a WW is not a improvment. they flow less air to help control surge. how much is a WW compared to a ported compressor housing?
