I doubt it would be too much. I'd probably go with a 12cm housing though. generally speaking, I don't think we run enough rpm to be choked out that much on the top end of what we run, rpm wise. With the VE pump I mean.
When I finally get a turbo (for both trucks really) I'll either get an a4000, 63/68/12 or if garrett decides to make a gtx wheel for the 3788r I'd go that route.

I want to move up to this turbo, but I am afraid the cost is prohibitive.

Your sig says 66-74-14 though, is that what you guys got? That sounds like a slow spooling monster....that's like the specs of a silver bullet from II

$1500 seems reasonable if I can get one for that much.
