What's the difference between a t3/t4 60-1 turbo and a straight t4 60-1 turbo? I was considering getting a straight t4 t04e turbo. my set-up is a crvtec. sorry for the noob question

 

the t3 uses a t3 turbine side(exhuast side)and teh t3 family turbine wheels

t4 uses the t4 turbine housings and wheels

 

would u happen to know what the t3 family wheels would be? and the t4 family wheels? or can you point me to a website that helps me? thanx

 

Even if you don't go with their turbo's their site is quite informative.

t3 turbine wheels:
stg2-69 trim wheel
stg3-76 trim wheel(2.23x2.56)
stg5-76 trim wheel(2.439x2.798) (yep same trim, just a larger wheel)

t4 turbine wheel:
n-trim-50 trim (2.071x2.922)(obsolete as far as garrett pn#'s go)
o-trim-62 trim (2.296x2.922)
p-trim-76 trim (2.544x2.922)

hope this helps

I want to gain somewhere near 500hp in my crvtec.

 

500 is possible with the t3/60-1 .63 a/r stg3 wheel

edit: i feel the .82 a/r stg5 wheel would be a bit laggy..
