Default Is there any cheap/easy way...

Aight here is the deal. I'm about done with my 2.0L bulletproof LS build up. I'm thinking sometime a bit down the road I'll prolly be needing a bigger turbo. Right now i'm running a t3(.63a/r Stage III)/T04e(54 trim). This turbo worked very well on my mostly stock LS all the way to 8000 RPM. This was only at 10psi though.

Now i'm 2.0L on Darton sleeve's, Eagle rods, and 8.8:1 Wiseco pistons. I'd honestly like to have somewhere in the neightborhood of 375~400 WHP at around 16psi. I doubt my current turbo will support that. The point of all this jibba jabbering is if there is an easy way to swapout compressor housings from my 54 trim to a 60-1.

easiest way to make ur turbo a 60-1 is to sell the t3/t04e and then by a 60-1/T3. hehe u would probably loose around 300$. im not sure what it would cost to have the housings and wheels swapped. probably right around 300 too.

I have seen that you can just swap the compressor housings and install a new wheel.

I think a place will charge around 200 for the swap.

the t3/60-1 uses a t4 center section.
the t3/to4e uses a t3 center section.
thats where you will run into the problem of switching just the housings...
sorry but noone has made an adapter backing plate to fit the to4s(60-1) compressor housing on the t3 center section.
