My ATS housing came last week. Think I ordered it from shopdiesel.com 2 months ago! It got drop-shipped from ATS, so ya' might want to call them direct for faster service.
One thing I'd like to add: The casting on the housing is terrible. There were chunks of aluminum inside that I had to chip away and grind down the tabs left behind!!!! Very poor "attention to detail" on ATS's part!!! For what the item cost, it should be delivered ready to install!

The one i got was clean inside. I did see a few areas that were poorly cast though that look like they could use a little cleaning up. My guess is they are trying to turn out as many as possible and that usually ends up meaning a drop in quality. I've seen it many times. It's a shame it has to happen that way. BTW I just got mine installed with the stock wheel and it's great. I love it.

I would like more as well, I was told the ww with ats housing is TOO MUCH whistle but I'd like to have a lot. I also wondered if its more whistle from out of the exhaust or just under the hood.

On mine, the housing with the stock wheel is much louder than even a WW was. I don't think I'll put the WW back on. I like it this way.

I did finally get the housing from XDP after a two month wait.
The casting on the housing was very poor quality. Metal shavings everywhere, very sloppy work for $405.00. Looked like a kid with a hammer and chisel made it.
After the install with the stock wheel, it does have a sweet whistle, no more surge.
I installed a new turbo master controller also and it works well.
So ITP has their own made and ready to be shipped? Who has ran this with the WW and without? Please post your input. Is it louder ported housing + stock wheel or + wicked wheel?

The ATS and WW is very loud. It can be very anoying at 5PSI. Then screams from there up. I switched back to the stock wheel for beter milage and to give my ears a break. Plus the stock wheel helped clear the smoke up also. JMHO
