A smaller exaust housing will let your turbo spool faster, ( less lag ) but also build a little more heat, not too noticable unless you go smaller than a 16cm.

the 60mm upgrade compressor wheel and housing will pump more air and clean up smoke on a turned up VE pump, it will also build a noticable amount more power and boost.

They are different mods to serve a different purposes. If you want more air, upgrade the wheel, if you want quick spool up and have egt's to spare change the exhaust housing. If you want both, get a different Turbo cuz that's a lot of money to sink into an h1c

Well what's a better turbo that's as good or better than the 16cm and 6 blade and 60mm upgrades??? That'll cost about $620 off of pure diesel .com. Doesn't sound to bad to me

1250 continuous at the manifold on the exit of the rear 3 cylinders is the consensus. As for short peaks, there is no absolute but you can go hotter than 1250 for a few seconds from time to time.
