If your h1c is in good shape(no excessive shaft play), the 60mm is a good, cheap(ish) upgrade. The 14 or 16cm exhaust hosing will let you spool up way quicker than your current big a$$ housing does. I went from 18cm to a 14cm housing and it's unbelievable the difference. As far as a singing turbo, The larger compressor wheel will increase the "whistle" but will greatly depend your exhaust, to let the sound come through.

No, It won't hurt anything. alot of stock tubros came with a 12cm housing. The 21cm you have now is rediculously big. Commonly known as a lag monster. You will notice a raise in EGTs, but a 4" exhaust will cancle that out.

What are you using the truck for? If you're towing probably the 16cm, daily driver/hot rod, 14cm. the 14 will spool up alittle faster, but will have a little higher EGTs. I love my 14cm, though and haven't had any issues w/ EGTs.

Yeah, I think the 14cm is pretty well rounded. BTW have you gotten gauges yet?
