ball-bearing version of straight t3?
Well I saw a considerable amount of oil in my IC piping after just a few hundred miles of boost. I bought the turbo used. I don't know for sure whether its a t3/t04 or straight t3, but I think its a t3. I like the quick spool. I need to find a place soon that can rebuild and rebalance it. But I've had it in mind for a while to get a ball-bearing turbo. If I do, I just want to make sure I get one that has the same dimensions so I don't have to change my manifold or downpipe. What are some part numbers I should be looking for for a ball-bearing version of my turbo?
It says Garrett AiResearch on the turbine housing. Here's a pic

Probably a typical 50 trim T3. Take the compressor cover off to acurately measure the small end of the comp. wheel, then refer to this site: http://majesticturbo.com/c-maps-1.html
The difference between a 45 trim and 60 trim T3 inducer size is 3/8", and power diff is enough for 100+/- whp on a honda (based on lb/min flow).

Because they're more versitle? Because you're limited to a 2.5 to 3"/4" flare right off the flange for a turbo that has 2.439" exducer (stg5) at the most? Because you can't mix in some thought to make the wg port work w/o boost creap? A crappy 40mm design can have much more creap than a well-designed internal setup.

That part is blocked off by the flange. I am running an external wg.
