    what your saying sounds to me like: IF i was to keep the same trim with the small dia being half inch larger than stock , the back size of the wheel would have to be half inch smaller and still be a 50. trim i think i got it..

    didnt see this last part before. i was told there was no point in changing the exhaust side of the turbo till like 450-500hp so that exhaust wheel was left alone, they used my old shaft... does that help? hahhaha :dunno:

    this was on my mind..

    i took a grinder and ground some marks into the top of the bend going into the cat and cut my lines in half with a bandsaw or sawsall so i know where to reweld it. smashed the ozone saver out of it, and sleeved it with 2.5 inch pipe, may not be needed,(i just did it to make it flow better)...

    *Trim Calculation*

    i could see that the housing was re-machined out to accept the larger wheel. and it sure made a huge difference in boost? seeing if i can find any paperwork on it now.. edited: :dunno: all i found is the reciept and it says upgrade/rebuild special lol ill call monday..
