I have a 2000 IHI 4700 tow truck with the T444E, it was a dog pulling, I installed a 4" exhaust & then an Edge EZF1000 module which plugs into the ICP sensor.
Works great, lots more power, more low end torque but on a long hard loaded freeway pull now I get turbo surge at around 17psi boost.
My 2001 Ford F-550 7.3 did the same surge after chipping it & I installed a different turbo wheel (Wicked Wheel/ a 94-97 Powerstroke wheel, little different design from the 2001) & the surge completely went away & still have more power than I can use.
I'm wondering if anyone would know if the Ford wheel would work in the IHI or if there is a IHI wheel that would help eliminate the surge?
Thanks for any replies.

Follow up, I found the IHI & Ford had the same casting number on the outside of the cold air side of the turbo so I took a gamble & bought a Wicked Wheel.
It fit perfectly & solved my turbo surge, EGT's are under 1,000 & boost gets up above 22psi with great power compared to stock.

What was the casting number on your turbo housing? And what number wicked wheel did you use?
