Hey everyone. Just wondering if the wicked wheel 2 is still the best option on a stock turbo with the 360 degree upgraded bearing rebuild kit. Truck is a 1997 f250 extended cab automatic that's a daily driver used also to pull occasional heavy trailers and in the winter I have a 8.5 foot snow plow on it. Shes sitting at 250k on the odometer.
I've pulled the engine and had the E4OD rebuilt along with the transfer case to be able to withstand plowing and more then stock horsepower. I'm putting in 180cc injectors with 30 percent nozzles from Fullforce diesel with the hydra chip and running a Edge CTS 2 monitor instead of mechanical gauges. I'm also gonna take the heads off to inspect the piston walls and valve seats for wear. I'll be putting in ARP headstuds since I'm this far and if budget allows I'll do new bellowed up pipes and an Adrenaline HPOP. Do I have to run an intercooler since Fullforce wants 900 bucks for one made to fit the OBS and I've read many posts about the super duty stock ones fitting and not fitting without modifications. I still dont know where to go if I was to reuse an old setup. If it's not imperative I'd like to use that money for the hoop and etc...
Anyway just curious if anyone has any suggestions or sees any issues with my combination I may have overlooked. No parts have been ordered as of yet. Still waiting for the tranny and transfer case bill so I know what's left in the budget and finalizing my plan to get the best bang for my buck ha ha.
