Default T4 housing for a t3 sc61 instead of t3/t4 adaptor?

A friend of mine has a perfectly good running sc61 with a t3 exhaust housing on it. Would it be better to order a new t4 housing for it rather than use a t3 to t4 adaptor?

But what about fitment. The housings are only like 250 from prescision turbos. And they have vband outlets vs his 4/5 bolt housing.

if your concerned with performance go with the housing itself, loooks dont mean anything under the hood(IMO), but the adapter would just be because you dont have a t3 manifold, so go witht he housing itself....

If that turbo is going to a 1/2j get a t4 housing. Housing will work better and t4 flanges manifolds are the norm.
