Default Undecided: t3t4e 60 trim/.63 ar or t3 60-1 w/ .63 ar??

i'm going to be getting a new turbo soon and i'm undecided between those two.. it will be for a stock gsr for the moment, but i do plan on building it in the future and running around 15-18 psi.. for the moment, 10 psi intercooled and hondata will be what i'll be running.. i've heard some good results w/ the 60-1 and want to lean towards it.. on the other hand the t3t4e also sounds like a good choice too because of the price and the efficiency at which my boost level will be set at currently.. thanks for your input in advance..

The 60 trim compressor map is far more efficient than the 60-1. The 60-1 compressor does flow 8lb/min greater than the 60 trim, flow isnt everything at lower psi levels where the 60-1 is not efficient. I personally am using a t3/t4oe 60 trim with a .82a/r housing, which i feel is a far superior turbo than the 60-1 for boost levels under 15psi. The 60-1 is efficient till around 28psi, while the 60 trim is efficient till 24-25psi. If had to select another turbo again it would between a 60 trim, or the precision sc61 which utilizes the gt40 compressor wheel. The 60-1 is something between a 60 trim and gt40, and has the disadvantages of both.
