TP38 rebuild kit and wheel upgrade advice

[lotzagoodstuff]

So I figure I'm going to pull my turbo to get a little more room to clearance the firewall for my downpipe. I figure if I have it off I might as well rebuild it, and maybe add a wheel as I do have some surging. I see some of the rebuild kits offer a "360 degree thrust bearing upgrade", but it looks like the stock Garrett rebuild kits do not show this upgrade. Any thoughts?

Lastly, it looks like I could easily upgrade the cold side wheel while I've got it apart to rebuild. Wow are there a lot of options when it comes to wheels. Any input on who's wheel really does what? Just trying to get what I want out of this list of bolt ons

Thanks

The stock wheel is perfectly fine.its actually an upgrade called " wicked wheel" for the 99-03 to get rid of surge.

A rebuild definately wont hurt.

While its off make sure you replace the up pipe donut gaskets.get donuts for a 70s small block chevy.part number can be found in the part numbers sticky.

Thanks for the tip on the exhaust donuts Rich, and thanks for the input on the wheel.

While some believe the wicked wheel is plainly a stock obs wheel, it isn't.
The wicked wheel 2 is a upgrade though.
How'd it go?
