I wish I could, but I'm as clueless as you. I'll keep posted for my education also.
Good luck

in lames terms
T3 designates the exhaust side is a t3
T04 desogmates the compressor side is a t4
E designates the housing on the compressor side is an E housing, some are t3/t04b, the b has a smaller compressor cover...

ar ratio and trim are best if you read the artilce's posted above...

anyways all this crap affects flow/spoolup/where peak power is made/etc... by understanding the basics you can get a "general" idea of what a certain turbo will do on a certain application. CR ratio engine size cams all play a roll too so i use the term "general" loosly here.
