Default housing swaps

ok i have a couple questions for ya.

1: there is a turbo for sale on a forum that i am looking at. it is a turbonetics t3/60-1. but the thing that worries me, it is a .48 AR stage 5 on the exhaust housing. as you know i am looking for 400whp. i am currently running a .63 AR stage 5 on my 50 trim. will the .48 be big enough to support that kind of power? or will me running a larger compressor and smaller exhaust housing be pointless.

2: my current turbo is a garrett t3/to4e 50 trim .63 ar stage 5 turbo. i am planning on using the 50 trim on my srt4 when i get it off the focus. could i swap the housing on my garrett and it fit on the turbonetics? im not sure if it matters but the 50 trim is a 360 thrust center section and the 60-1 is a bb.

thanks
tim

if all else fails i am still considering the gtk450 or 500.

I'm not familiar enough with the Garrett compressor housing mounts to answer number 2 but in response to number one I would try the .48 A/R housing personally. If it doesn't work well swapping it out for a larger A/R housing is fairly quick and cheap to do .
