Question compressor housing?

Can i just change the compressor housing ? If so were can I find the part(s) I need? The turbo I have is a garrett with T6 flange, turbine a/r is 1.00 and compressor a/r is .45. I only want to run about 5-10 lbs of boost, Is this possible with a compressor a/r of .45, or should i change the compressor housing?

just go for it
with so many variables its hard to say exactly what any combination will do
any time you build a custom engine, there are always a few bugs to work out


I overcammed and over A/R turbines but its still scary
besides it gives me something to tweak later

As long as the comp cover you are switching to is the same inducer and radius profile, yes you can swap to it. As for performance gain, its hard to tell and something very few could answer.
