At a guess lag city, question is would the 55 housing limit the boost enough so that it would do the boost you want on a T4, I'd pm Nash as he loves the T4, wopuldn't be surprised if he'd used this combo, worth a pm anyway.

in theory a smaller rear housing should make it less laggy compared to its origional o.63 housing. iv just pmd nash, hopfully he will advise me
im just iching to do something with this t4 that i got, their aint many exhaust housings out their that fits the t4 turbine wheel, im struggling.

As you say in theory it will be less laggy, but I wonder how fast it needs spinning to generate noticeable boost with a T4 ?
