For a stock B18, i would keep that compressor but make the turbine 0.48 a/r stage 1.
i would also make it water cooled if it isn'T already.
it would make a quick spooling 200-250 WHP turbo.
i could perform that mod for the price of a basic rebuild. resulting turbo would be warrantied 6 months.

Re: 63 or 48 turbine housing for LS ?
fact is, both turbines will work.
the .48 one will maintain a good top end until around 230-240 whp. on most small 4 cyl engines, it will normally choke top end only when you try to exceed that power.
for a 5-10 psi setup on a stock LS, there'S nothing wrong with the .48 a/r because it does flow enough and spools up quicker. Maybe if you have big plans for a near future, you can stick with the .63, it will work alright for now and leave you more room for improvement when you crank up the boost and/or upgrade the engine.
