bw s372 hot side size ?

i currently have a s366 and love the turbo! i want to make a little more power instead of turning up the boost on the 366. i like 21lbs and dont want more. so i was thinking of the s372..
they come in a .90 as there smallest and 1.25 as there biggest.

what do you guys think i should get? i currnetly have a .91ar.
the car is a street car and see's the track once in a while..
i love my current spool.. so i was thinking the .90 a/r rather than the 1.00
suggestions?

I believe that s372 is not BW but Bullseyes product. It has bigger turbine than s366 and of course bigger compressor what means more lag, no if or but. Even with smallest housing it will be laggier than s366 especially since you limit yourself to same boost. I´m pretty sure that S366 is operating well in its efficiency and is not choked on turbine so fitting of bigger unit won´t produce more power, just lag and less powerband....

Keep what you have, you are at the point where fitting bigger hotside would do nothing positive. If you want more power - I mean noticable amount, there is only way how to do it - boost.

Another vote for turning up the boost. You'll waste money going with the 372 (42r equivalent)...

What did your spark plug holes look like when you took the motor apart? Did they have cracking at the holes and LARGE black combustion marks of the like?

I would suggest moving the boost up a bit to see where it puts you. That turbo should theoretically make 560-600whp at the max, so 24-25psi will be within the normal operating range.
