Default Impeller wheel

Hey guys I'm looking at buying a impeller wheel, there are several brands and was wondering if there was a difference in them? I have also heard that people who have bought them had some thread problems? Any feed back would help out a ton thanks

Oh ok so is that a good investment or should I get a whole new compressor housing I really can't afford a whole new turbo,I guess what I'm saying is is there a way to upgrade my turbo without buying a whole new one?

The wicked wheel isn't really an upgrade. If yours is working fine leave it alone.

Are you trying to deal with surge or just want a new compressor wheel to say you have an upgraded compressor wheel?

I highly doubt you will have surge issues, but if you do the WW is a baidaid for it. If you want to fix surge right get the ported housing.
