Well, so i'm thinking my .42/.48 saab T3 just doesnt have a big enough compressor for me. I think the exhaust size is fine, but yeah. I found a t3 turbo that is .60/.48... which T3 is this? the 60 trim T3?

My other main question is, whats the difference between a T3 60 trim or super 60, and a smaller T04 compressor housing, (I think the T04e is the smaller one). How much bigger is that compressor, and what is the A/R on that compressor?

I really wish I could find a website that had a list of all garrett turbos and their A/R's and trim sizes. So if the compressor A/R of the 60 trim i'm thinking about about getting is .60, and IF (just hypothetical) the A/R of the T04e compressor is also 0.60, do they compress air just the same? i'm so confused...

all 60 trim turbos come with a .60ar housing.

a t04e is a t4 compressor wheel, its just a wee bit bigger than a t3 wheel (sarcasm)

the differences between the t3 60 trim and the super 60 is like 3cfm, not worth it imo.

so what is the A/R of the T04e turbo compressor?

you see mainly 2 variations. .50 and .60.

but a t04e .60 compressor housing is larger than a t3 .0 compressor housing. you cant view ar as equal inbetween different turbo families

so if a T3 has an compressor A/R of 0.6, and so does a T04e, the T04e still flows more thru the compressor? so confusing.... so what spec do you use to compare turbos of different lines and brands? CFM?

A T3 60trim .60 ar turbo has a 1.860" inducer and a T3 super60 has a 1.9" inducer from a T4 series turbo. A super60 is good for about 20whp more over a straight 60trim T3. IMO not worth it.
