Default 12cm turbine housing

So i have a WH1C turbo on my 1994 12v and i am wondering what the benifits would be of upgrading to a 12cm exhaust housing. I know i would notice alot quicker spool up, but would i have a lower max boost, or would i notice alot higher egts?

quicker spool, more boost, tuned right should lower egts since you have more boost, depends on pump and wastegate tuning tho

If it is a wh1c it already has the 12cm wastegated housing. If it's a h1c it's the non wastegated turbo. The wastegated turbo will spool alot faster.

ditto its already a 12 and no matter what you do with it it will be choked out in the higher rpms.
