Default Tang vs On center T4 housing.

I just got my turbonetics turbo in from ForcedInductions. Its a TC78. I got a .96 A/R on center but after getting it I dont know how good it will work. It seems like a Tang exhaust housing would flow alot beter. Has anybody tryed both and found any results. This On center T4 housing looks really restrictive.

Thanks

Justin.

Tang V, housing will flow alot more. Jose I believe said around 15% flow difference. Which is a good bit once you get to 650-700rwhp.

I have a remote turbo Y-pipe that I bought off of dave(quicksilverado). It was made for a On center T4 housing. If I use a Tang housing I think it will set closer to the ground. I haven't ever seen a On center turbo before and didnt think it was that big of a deal. After getting and looking at it I wasn't sure if it was a good thing.
