A couple of months ago I purcahsed an ATS Turbo Housing for my PSD. I wanted to eliminate the chattering (turbo surge) at full throttle in the 2000-2500 RPM range. I spoke with the folks at ATS and they assured me that their housing would not only emilinate the surge but add boost and mid-range performace as well.
I also inquired about upgrading the turbo wheel at the same time and ATS suggested NOT to. Their housing is engineered to work with the stock wheel and no additional benefit would be gained from the wheel upgrade (which they sell, by the way). Nice of them to be honest as I could easily have been sold on the wheel upgrade ($90).
All of their claims were true. No more chatter and about 29-30 PSI of boost at ful throttle (I have a pressure regulator in the MAP line to limit what the EEC sees to about 23 PSI--otherwise you get SES light).
I have noticed a little turbo whine at higher RPM, but hardly annoying (actually, sounds kinda cool). EGT's are the same and over all, I think it was a worthwhile upgrade.

No, not the lottery :-)
I had a stack of toys sitting in the garage waiting for time to get them installed. We moved a couple of months ago from an apartment to a house and I was able to get my tools out of storage and now have a place to work.
Hooking up my reverse lights this weekend and trying to figure out why the compressor (Viair 450) died with a dead short. Seems like it overheated from the looks of it.
Cab lights next...
