i'm looking for a little more out of my 44, a couple of weeks ago it went 95.7 mph on 24 psi and 23* timing with the TC unlocked in the 1/8. It would have been really close to a 120 mph run but instead a few problems compounded themselves in a split second and it blew both headgaskets. at about the 1000 ft mark. Anyways its back together and running again, and im always looking for a little bit more out of my combo and it would be nice to run 120 on a regular basis. How much is a housing and who should i contact in getting one if its worth it. What do you guys think? i do have a 3200 stall 9/11. Would this be worth it?
 
You can get a PTE .85 housing from either PTE or John Craig for roughly $150 I think last time I priced one out.

Whether it will help you out or not...I would say only slightly. You could probably sell your TE44 for $500 and get a larger turbo in the TE61 range for about $200. Probably worth the extra $50 over the price of just a housing swap.
