I think that they are just names that are given. each turbo manufacturer names turbos what they want. someone correct me if im wrong.

hehe thats actually kinda funny. A "T" series turbo can be a turbnetics or garrett or a precision turbo. The "G" series can be either mitsu, IHI, or any other turbo manufacturer that decided to call it a "xG." Basically, each manufacturer does name their turbos based on variances on their sizes and the aspects on how they spool or flow. A T3 or T4 is the series of flange that bolts to your manifold. A T3 will spool quicker than a T4 with a sacrifice in power. Mating a T3 turbine to a T4 compressor will some what give you the best of both worlds. To find out which turbo would be best for you, you can always learn how to read a compressor map and learn how to mate inducer and exducer turbines and A/R housings. OR you can call the manufacturers or reps to find out which one would be best for you. If you are n00bing it, I would personally stick to a kit.
