Default .48 exhaust housing

I saw few posts here and on others forums which said that people get more power when put .48 housing.

I want ask, is this recomended to put on standard engine (10 psi) ?

I mean, will I get more power or just more lag?

With 10 psi, mostly just lag.

I've just swapped my .36 for a .48 and although I've ended up with 8bhp more the car feels flatter and not as eager as it did. I'm seriously considering reverting back to the .36

On a standard T3 i would expect it to be a little more laggy. I dont see it as a worth while mod tbh.

Each to their own

i ran a .48 housing on mine but had a 2wd saph cossie turbo on, it made a lot of difference, made it pull HARDER, and it semt to be about the same on lag too, but i ran a big valve stage 3 head aswel.. also change the jets in the amal valve for larger ones..

Dont go to .48 housing unless you want over 200 bhp.


the spool up will be alot worse, and when it kicks in, will make it spin up easier.

my t34 t3 0.48 hot and t4 0.60 cold spins less at launch than my original t3 0.48 hot / t3 0.42 cold , useful for 1/4 mile drags

more lag at the bottom but more power at the top

dunno if it is going to help you with your low boost , i run up to 1.5 bar

We are mostly looking at the Turbo Elbow there, not the housing. The size will probably be stamped inside the 4-bolt flange, or externally on the housing itself.
