The original rally 'cheat' .55 exhaust housing had .63 on the casting, as it was the .63 A/R turbo that was homologated.

"real" ford motorsport cheating bastard .55 housings are stamped .63, as was done to cheat in rallying, as they had to run the stock .63 housing due to homologation rules, but was a bit big n laggy so did a sly one and made .55 a/r housings that externally look identical to the .63s.

Turbo Technics manufactured .55 housings, I would *guess* they have .55 on them, as there's no need for any underhand tactics.

If buying secondhand, I'd want some sort of proof it was a modified 'std' housing.

Might be best phoning TT or CR Turbos etc. asking what they do etc. although I'm sure in the case of TT they actually made/cast a .55 housing (as in not a modified 'other' a/r housing)
