Depends on how you drive. ^^^ Sheesh. I can get a video of driving out of boost on a .42/.48 up and down hills and everywhere. Stay out of boost. Simple.


Rock the .63 and honestly I'd look at between a .63 and a t03/t04e. My opinion and I think Hotsex will agree (for once).

The difference in the spool times between the two is a non-issue its such a small difference. The difference in pull is the reason why I'd go with the 63/60. After a week of the 48/60 you'll be itching for more anyway.

Semi-OT... anyone have thoughts on what a fair price for a 60 coldside would be? Wheel/housing/backing plate.

Why not buy the whole turbo if you're gonna buy that much of it? Also, the 42/48 can use a 60 cold side to make a 48/60.

Wouldn't it be 60/48 then if your using the cold side? Yea, no difference in the wheel size? If this is the case I'm buying a .60 cold side.

Because I might be hybriding my 60/63 and would have the 60 up for sale if people where interested... its pending my pickup of another coldside first though.

edit: Looks like I managed to grab a t4 72mm setup for the cold side... so once I've gone through with it... the 60 will be up for sale.

I thought they were different as well, but after looking at them, they're the same. You have to grind the lip on the center section to get the housing to sit flush when tightened, but other than that, there's no difference. Project cheap **** is running a 42/48 with a 60 comp. housing right now.
