Default Porting the stock housing waste gate

Ok i have 250/100 injectors and I already know I have to much fuel for the stock charger but was planning on running my stock one till I had enough cash for something better but mine decided to take a dump. Do I picked up a van charger really cheap and am wondering if I should use the stock exhaust housing and port out the waste gate and drill the divider or if it would be better to use the 1.15 housing. Which would help make my charger through the summer?

You think it will help the charger last longer with my fuel.

yes, you do not want a tight housing with that much fuel. also have your chip reburned to have the injectors detuned for that turbo.

I'm getting my truck live tuned in a couple weeks so I'm going to get it detuned then. I have tony wildman tunes but my truck doesn't idle worth a crap and has a lot of dead pedal.

Its your money but don't waste on live tuning if you don't have the setup you want. He can build you some tunes that are great and a 1/3 the price

That's probably what I'm going to do. I used the 1.15 housing now I just need to get some tunes that work for my truck.
