You need a .60 t3 compressor wheel and a .60 a/r comp housing. Then you'll need it balanced. For all that trouble you might as well buy a t3 .60/.48 or .60/.63.

THe useful thing about converting these old turbos is the Stage 1 exhaust. Stage 3 is about all you can find off the shelf, and most motor that don't see 8k don't need that large of a turbine wheel.

Or choose to put a t4 side on it... I happen to have a t4 housing/backing plate and compressor wheel for sale... 120+shipping. Was bought for the exact purpose you are looking at... I just got lazy.
