The turbine housing is not going to help that much considering it is still using the same turbine wheel. Your compressor wheel/turbine wheel matched with that displacement is what's hurting your response a bit. To help with that, it may be time to downgrade entirely. A 50 trim w/ the same turbine wheel is in order.

Again, no, not with that compressor wheel. the turbine housing is 1/4 of the story in getting the right turbocharger.
