Remind me why you would want a 60mm housing? What size exhaust housing would work well with this and a 5 speed. I'm guessing you need to be throwing a lot of fuel at a 60mm to get it spinning. Correct? Don't mind me, I don't know what I'm talking about.

The 60mm helps get rid of almost all the fuel that you can throw at a stock injector truck. The best housing to use for a 5 speed is the 12cm waste gate and (I believe) a 16cm waste gate housing for the auto. I am not completely sure on the housing but you defiantly want a waste gate, I just put a HX35 with the hybrid 60mm 6 blade compressor on my truck and I have to let out pretty quick because that 45lbs of boost comes QUICK. I have a 12cm that I am going to be porting out in the near future so that I can actually stay on the throttle instead of letting off.

Yes I am and as soon as I turn off the valet while I'm into the skinny pedal she slips pretty bad.
