How can I get a smaller A/R on my turbo?
The turbo I have is a BW366. It has a .91A/R and the extended tip. I know many turbos have different sized A/R's
My question is what would I have to do to make that turbo a .70 A/R or something similar in size to get a quicker spool.
I know I could always get another turbo but this seems to be a cheaper option than getting the gtx3076r that I am dreaming of haha.
Sorry about the noobish question.

Well, in your case you cant. Your .91 housing is T4, and the only one smaller is a .88 which will effectively do nothing but increase spool time. There is a company that makes .70 housings but they are T3 flanged, and you will need to get a different manifold.
Your best bet is to replace the turbo. I would use an S360 or S362 FMW, they both spool noticeably quicker than your S366.

Just when I thought it was 1,2,3 simple 
I looked at the turbos for BW, anything with a smaller a/r than .88 I have to go t3 manfiold!
I may sound dumb for this but I couldn't replace the current exhaust housing with another companies "0.70AR T04S compressor housing t4" on the turbo?
