    Mr Haney, wont let me PM you because of post count. Tried a BW with a 1.60 yesterday and not impressed. I think I need a smaller housing. Going to try the stage 1 today. What size exhaust housing do you think would work best? Thanks.

    The Stage 1 uses a 1.32 housing and will respond very well.

    If you used a CAT turbo with a 1.6 housing, I'm guessing you had one of the older design turbos. These are very sluggish and some of the reason for that is also the compressor wheel design.

    Turbo supply usually has decent prices on BW turbos.

    Mr Haney, I tried the stage 1 and it was very responsive like you said. Very good with the jakes too. Thank you.
