The 63 owns the 48. It's not THAT big of a deal, but it does. Don't make excuses and be a dipshit. Keep the 63.

i have the same turbo but i want to put it on a z6. i am going tt rods with vitaras and plan to run 15psi daily and 20psi when really racing. i was hoping to see 10psi in 1st gear and then 2nd and up will get 15-20psi. planning for the lag to be traction control. does anyone else think this will work as i plan or should i get a .48 turbine housing?

Please don't ever say wow just wow again. I ran 20psi on a 48/60 d series and it was fun as ***. If turbine housings were car washes, the 48 would be the good, and the 63 would include spot free rinse. Break all yall selves.
