I have a T34.48 on my car and love it.
Really, really punchy without ridiculous lag, and for a road car makes all the power you could need. Its boosting by 2.5k revs.

What are you hoping for with the .63? My car is standard head/bottom end with 500 cooler etc, and will run 403 bhp on the .48 turbo. It is currently running less than that though.

Whatever, I run T34 .63 with greens and I find it's laggy. Plan to go Greys in the future, to get enough power to make the lag worthwhile. Or... go .48, but that's gay!

It is also complete crap about the T34 with .48 tailing off at the top end.
Mine peaks at 330lb ft, and holds this past 6300rpm, with a .48 housing.
I have little lag, 150lbft at 1500rpm, my old T3.48 tailed off at 4500rpm big time, torque wise.
As a general rule, the housings do work as said, larger turbine will give more lag, but less oomph higher up nad be limited compared to a larger turbine, but by then maybe the compressor side will also be too small.
I always subscribe to the idea of why have a large laggy turbo if you dont need it, unless you don't mine the type r method of driving with loads of revs all the time.
Mine will keep up with city traffic comfortably from 1500rpm, and certainly by 2000rpm you cannot detect any noticeable lag.

Anyway, its not running that power now, but I still love how punchy the turbo is. Prob not so good for track, but on the road the way it drives is ideal.
