i finally got a turbo, its a garrett t04e with a .70 ar compressor and 1.0 ar turbine.... its huge to say the least but i got a good deal on it, so im wondering if i can buy a O-trim housing... since that is the turbine size, would it just go on like normal, and what style housing should i get... on center, or tang undivided, or tang divided.

thanks for help!

Well i dont know if will fit, but what you need to do is make sure that the turbine itself will work with the new housing if they dont match then your hosed. It is possible to swap housings you just need to do your homework and get the right housing. As far as style of housing that will depend on your setup if you are top or bottom mount and you total goals.

O-Trim is only one size of turbine... from what i have gathered, as least inducer and exducer are concerned.

so if i get the O-trim housing, it should work... also im running top mount and looking for 350-400hp

Yes it will work if you match up all the specs. you have to match the turbine to the housing, and make sure that the housing and the baring section will fit toghether. If it all matches then it will work.

If you are running a top mount you will probably want a on center housing so you can clear your BMC.
