Ok guys, doing all my stuff today and tomarro, well now that i go the right wheel for my truck(htt made a mistake) i am trying to put the housing on, the wheel fit fine but the housing will not go on all the way, and it is not hitting the wheel, now someone told me something about grinding to make it fit a NON IC truck since it is make for a truck with a IC, what do i need to do?? i am hurrying to get this truck ready for saturday and have hit nothing but problems(valves and locker wont be here until tomarro, wrong wheel, one of the slicks had a tear in it, ) so any help will be appreciated

Been awhile but I thought I read something about a backing plate. Maybe this doesnt apply but just my 2 cents

I'm no expert by no means at this, but did you just get a wheel only? No compressor housing upgrade as well? I bet that stage 3 wheel won't fit the baby nonIC'd compressor housing. Probly needs the IC'd c-housing.

If it's a Stage 3 (60mm 8 blade wheel) you shouldnt need a backing plate, but like bgilbert said you need a compressor housing. I think when most people talk about modifying the turbo to work with a non-IC truck they are just talking about the crossover tube. The new compressor housing (I think) has a 2.5" discharge, whereas the regular non-IC discharge is 2". I've had my housing off once just to see what it was like and the only problem I ran into was one of the heat-exhanger (I think thats what it's called) lines was in the way, but I just had to put the housing on with the smallest part toward the line, then clock it how I needed it.
