Your welcome, but if it's a .42/.48 Steve and I dealt with all you need is the .60 housing.

Heh... i think for your second statement... you are just ignoring advice of others... I think you still had doubt recently too....
"I might be interested if it DOES really fit, but I don't think because what is the purpose without a bigger wheel to suck in more air, ya know?"

For the first part though... he uses his stock turbine wheel/turbine housing/chra and just uses all the parts from the 60 coldside...

I still don't agree with just the housing swap... it might help some... but not as much as the correct wheel will... I know you guys didn't agree with this in the thread all about it... but shrug. I'm running a full 60/63 t3 on my D16 and loving it... spooling by 2200 and full spool mid 3k. I have a t4 60trim housing for it also... WITH wheel and backplate... I'm not going to shoehorn it... i'll be using the correct wheel so it actually does what its supposed to.... fit.

A bigger housing will flow more CFM and a wheel will help. A housing without the wheel to match isn't as good, but it's your money. Steve has done this and so have I. I'm sure of it. I have yet to get a re-tune to report my results, but it fits.
