Hi guys,
Got my wicked wheel in from Bob at Dieselsitetoo.com a week or so ago. Now that the holidays are over and the kids are back in school, I'm ready to install it. I think I've read this here but can't find it so I'll ask. Is it necessary to remove the turbo to install this? What kind of time frame am I looking at from start to finish? Thanks in advance for the replies.

Excuse my lack of knowledge but what the hell is a wicked wheel? Does it increase performance? If so I want one!   other than that 
EDIT: Ok so I went to the website and saw what you were talking about. It doesnt look like it will be to hard to install. Looks like a slight power upgrade. You can count me on this one. Let me know how it works out. It also says it comes with directions. Are they any good? I know alot of manufaturers say they will send directions and they usually send a sheet of paper with some generalized BS on it that is useless.

I installed the Wicked Wheel in our 02 Excursion over 3 years ago and yes it did come with detailed instructions(no cheezy photo copied Hellwig stuff!)
Install took around 5 hours but I was in no rush and have prior upper engine rebuilding experience so this was nothing.
Here's the instructions in Adobe PDF format.
