Default ebay gt45 t6 housing?

I would like to buy the gt45, but I want to run a t6 housing. I want to try the quick spool valve I just bought. I know the gt45 spools just fine with out the q.s.v. but I still want to test it. Is it possible to find a t6 housing for the Chinese gt45? Will the turbo perform better up top with the t6? If I can find one.

My build will be a 4.8, ls9 cam, 799 heads, z06 intake, meth, high boost 20psi+, 3.31 gears, 4l80, 2wd for now, in a GMC typhoon.

I am sure one of the turbo vendors like Forced Inductions could machine one for you, but I doubt you will find one or any replacement parts for it. You could probably make a T6 - T4 adapter though. That would probably be the easiest solution.

Seems like a lot of effort/$$$ just to test a QSV. An adapter is probably your best bet. Some of the ebay GT45's have a 77mm turbine which should be a good size for a 4.8. The small compressor will be your issue.

I have a bw s475 t6 1.10 83mm for sale if your interested. It's got dyno time and 12 passed on it. It would be perfect for that 4.8
