13b-re with to4r

i just wanted to get your guys opinion and what size turbine housing to get for my new setup, i have a stock port 13b-re i mainly use for street driving and autocross, and i wanted to know if i should get the .96 or the .84. not looking to go over 430whp and would like decent spool. thanks

If you're auto-x it and want a sooner "spool" time then go with the .84.

I don't know the price difference or if there's a waiting list, but for that amount of power you'd probably be better served by a gt3574 with an .84.

use the smaller housing for quicker spool.

Run the .84 you will hit your power goal and have decent response. I have setup a ton that way.
