Housing for HE351CW

I've been studying this turbo and would like to use it. I noticed people saying it comes with a 9cm turbine housing. I know the small housing is good for quick spool but is not good for top end power, plus I dont want to over spin the turbine. Since I do a lot of heavy towing it would be nice to have balanced power between the low and the top end. What would be a good sized housing to put on this turbo for that?

I honestly don't know if there are any other housings available. The 9cm on the HE351cw isn't very restrictive being that it has a true 4" outlet. As you know, they're stock 3rd gen turbos and those guys have see anywhere from 500-600hp with it.

Leave it alone and run it. It will spool quick and cool fine on the top end, It will run better than an hx35 in my opinion. Drive pressure is the concern with the HE351, but with our 1st gens being rpm limited with our VE pumps, I couldn't see it getting too out of hand. As far as I know you can't get a different size housing for them. But I can tell you that it will run great the way it is. I actually just put one back on my truck and forgot how good they ran.
