HTT SS vs steel

[Hitman]

Hello, does any one have a side by side comparison on the ss vs steel housings from HTT?
I ordered a 66-71-13 in ss and received a 66-71-14 in steel and was told the ss housings are on back order.

The vendor offered to send me the ss housing when they come off back order or a partial refund.
I have the turbo on my truck and I'm not sure if its worth the time to swap out housings.

Thanks, Chris

Wolflly did one long ago and said the SS was worth it!

I had a HTT without it and loved it also,but would of prefered the ss housing

I would go stainless , it will spool a good bit faster and the wastegate flows more if you ever decide to cranks the power up . I went from a cast 14cm to a stainless 16cm and even the 16cm spools faster than my 14cm cast housing did . I bet the 13cm stainless would spool faaast !

Do the stainless. You won't regret it. The SS is a custom design by HTT, where as the Cast is BW design. I had the 16 cm housing and it spooled faster than the stock turbo.

Thanks TrentNell, now that's first hand experience!
I don't race my truck so all this is for fun but I do tow heavy loads at times ( 10' Arctic fox camper in the bed with a equipment trailer in tow, w/ around 12,000lbs of crap on it), is there a enough gains to make it worth pulling the turbo off the truck and swapping housings?
Thanks again.

Thanks again.

Did you miss my post? Yes. I have run both variations, it is worth the time. Just take the charger loose from the pedistal, undo the oil feed and drain line, both intake and CA ducting. Its a lot easier than taking the whole pedistal and all off.

Good luck

Wolf sorry I must have been responding to Trents info when you posted.
Thank you for the responce, it sound like the ss housing is a huge improvment.

Another question, the 13 cm will spool quicker than the 16cm, will the 13cm give me lower egts than the 16 while towing?

It should, tuning plays a role in that though. The SS housing will lower egts by itself though about 50-100* maybe. You will like it.
