60-1 HiFi to 60-1 T04S?
I have a friend I can get a 60-1 HiFi from for fairly cheap. I know its not the ideal turbo but would it be possible to upgrade just the compressor housing to a T04S. I guess I was not sure if they clipped the compressor in order to fit it in a smaller housing. Also how would a HiFi compare to a T04e 60?

my turbonetics catalog show the 60-1 flow over 20% more than the 60trim t04e.

a new 60-1 is like 6-700
it'll probably cost ~3-400 to "upgrade" the other one because they'll probably rebuild it when they swap the plates and housings out. so if the turbo is $2-300, go for it. otherwise, just run it like it is. a hifi isn't all that bad. you can still get 400+whp out of it.
if you want much more than 400 to the wheels, you shouldn't be thinking about b-rated stuff. just spend the money and get what will work best.
