60-1 turbonetics, .48 exh too small?

i just picked up a used 60-1 Turbonetics turbo For $50 from a friend (needs a rebuild)

anyways the questions are, is a .48 hotside far too small? should be around .96 or so right? thats ideal? Im guessing it would have been on a sr20 for drifting

I know i could just buy a new bigger hotside housing, would i have to change the exhaust wheel to match?

would using a stock S5 hotside be ideal in terms of cost? can it be done? ive got both of them here and i don't want to take the S5 apart until i know it can be done

Id like to use the .48 it has a nice Large internal waste gate with an adjustable actuator but i dont really want to choke myself for power

Stock S5 T2 keg used mainly for circuit and touge runs

thanks guys!

yes, a 48 is too small. when i initially fixtured my twin TO4s i had 48 housings... that'd be
one for each rotor.

the backpressure was so great i split both housings!

i would go w an 82 and a stage 5 wheel. it is v important to get the hotside right on a rotary.
