Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Should I change housing?

[JamesAnderson]

I have the #11 plate installed in my truck, 97 5 speed 4x4. I was wondering if I should change the housing on it? TST has a 16cm housing which is non-waste gated or should I try the one that bank has ? They call it a quick turbo assembly it comes with one of there upgrade kits, but can be bought alone.

Thanks for any input.

Do you have gauges? If so, what are your EGTs at? If not, you need gauges. The stock HX35 is effective to 35(or so) psi. If the EGTs are a little high, tightening the boost elbow set screw a bit will raise your boost level. I think the 16 hsg will add a bit of lag vs the stock hsg.
