Yea man you want to go with a 14 or 16 mm housing it will let your truck spool up quite a bit faster and you play with ip a little

If your truck is an intercooled '91, then it will have the huge, laggy 21cm housing. If that's the case, then a smaller housing will make the truck much more enjoyable to drive. If you have a non I/C truck though, you'll have an 18.5 cm housing, and I would recommend saving up for another turbo, rather than changing the housing.
