Go ahead and throw a wicked wheel in there before you install it its way worth it, and where your air intake tube runs to the front of the truck behind the grill, (behind the honey comb on the driver side) drill a hole about 1 1/2" or so, this helps to draw cold air from out side of the engine bay and you cant see it from out side, you wont feel much difference but it is a FREE up grade. Also try replacing intercooler boots from riff raff diesel performance if yours are leaking, they probably are ive never seen factory ones that weren't, they make a big difference and they only cost about $120 or so and you can choose different colors, hope this helps you

either put the wheel from your E99 turbo in the new turbo or but the WW2. do not waste your money on a WW. the E99 turbo has one in it

Yes the e99 turbo has one in it factory , but it is a smaller turbo that's why ut changed in latest model 99 and the e99 will not just bolt right up you have to change the tubes in the heads they are smaller and the "WW" is not a waste of money it is good although the "WW2" may be better check the price differance you want cheap but effective the "WW" wil do you plenty of good for normal driving

i would not waste a single penny on a WW. they are junk and do not flow as much air as the stock wheel. i might however try out a WW2
