Default ?'s about swapping exhaust housings

Hey folks, I was wondering if anyone had any advice/pointers on swaping exhaust housing. I currently have a pair of TC66s with .58 AR. but since I've got a bigger motor now, I need the .81 housings, I sure a few have done it before, to what do I need to know, what do I need to look out for?

just call turbonetics. they sell the housings but for the price you are gonna pay for them and highly unlikely chance you will be able to sell them i would sell your TC66s and buy new turbos with the .81 housings already on them.

I have one .81 F1-trim housing from my TC76 that I can sell. Be prepared to shell out about $250 for a new one.

Is it just a bigger A/R but the same size turbine or do both need to be replaced?

The trick to getting the exhaust housing off is heat. Just get the housing hot with a propane torch and it will pop right off.

I'll check with FI, but I'm 75% sure its just the housing
