16cm2 housing to get me by for now?
1991 W250. Ground fuel pin, 1/8" adv. timing, 366 Spring, FPS turned 1/3 turn below max, 3" Snorkel, 4" straight pipe, NV4500, rear disc brakes, custom bumpers, Warn 8274 front and rear, 35" MT for the road, 38" Swampers for the trail. Isspro EV2 EGT. boost gauge in the mail. ~450,000 miles and counting
Right now I have the pump turned up enough that I can hit 1500* before I hit 80 MPH. I have no aftercooler.
My eventual goal is to make somewhere around 400 hp, but until I have the time to build an aftercooled twin turbo setup I would like your opinion on whether or not there is enough difference between my stock 18cm housing and a 16, or would I be better off with a 14? Or just bite the bullet and get an HX35 from one of our vendors?
Because threads without pictures suck, here are my two heaviest loads.

That was something not well covered in the sticky in this section, but with a little trimming the grill fits too.

I've been watching craigslist but its so easy for some things to slip through.

I dig it, but can't take on that big of a project right now, so the option at this point is a 14 or 16 cm exhaust housing, or an HX35. Will either of these two options on their own decrease my lag and help lower my EGT?
I can easily turn the pump back down if I need to, but who wants to do that?!

I put a 1" thick aftercooler radiator and circulating pump up front. The grille won't clear the circulating pump or the small pusher that is installed. Going to have to cut a good bit out of the grill in certain areas that's for sure. I'd hate to see anything thicker than 1" crammed in there. Especially if you have a/c.

I think I'll keep my eye out on the used market a while longer, I really want to see what I can do without installing an intercooler, just for the learning experience. I am also curious to see what kind of gains I might get from building a new tube between the turbo and manifold.
