Default How do you change the exhaust side of a turbo?

I have a T3 turbo with an a/r of .36 Can I change this to a larger a/r and if so, would a .48 be better? I want to make 250-275 hp on my b18c1.

the turbo is off an old vw diesel (1980's)

Call http://www.majesticturbo.com They are the best! I called around dozens of places because I wanted to change my exhaust housing from a .8X (I forget what the exact ar was) to a .63, and no one could do it. It was because I had an O trim wheel. But Majestic Turbo machined one out for me and got it to me quick and cheap!

What are you thinking about doing? The original question was on getting a "bigger" hot side housing for better flow. If you are thinking that you need to change the turbine to get a different A/R, you do not have to do that. All you need to do is change the housing.
