The stainless housings are better because they use larger runners to join the turbo to the dp. However, on a car only making 200whp, you really wont see any gain since you are barely making the turbo work and flow isnt an issue. Same reason why pushed 16g's see more power with the wastegate dump instead of recirculated

Thats what I have is a 3" DP works great. One thing though, my DP was solid (ie no flexpipe) So keep in mind if you get one like mine you will want the exhaust shop to cut out a section of the dp and weld in some flexpipe for safety. Otherwise you run higher risk of breaking something when the motor flexes under the extra torque you will be hitting

boost is the best mod for our cars.. after that....
addition items once boosted that will make the biggest difference is MORE BOOST and less restrictive flow. increased head flow and exhaust is the beginning steps,(ie cams, port n polished head, larger o2 dump and exhaust, better flowing manifold also) all help, but more boost is really the only thing that will show big advantages in power..
then u gotta look at the long term effects, u will have to build the motor to support more boost, or more power..
if you want to just help your track times.. try slicks! i dropped 7 tenths in my 1/4 mile time with just using 22x8x15 FWD drag slicks..(there basically same size as 205/50/15)
