Turbonetics T3 Turbo Question
i was wondering if i can keep my T3 Turbo and Upgrade the compressor side of it into a bigger 60 Trim. So people Say here at Honda-Tech That Its Not the Psi that makes power. I was wondering Will it Fit and Will this still be as effective as the real deal or some side effects due to the upgrade.

I have no idea what you're talking about with the "it's not the psi that makes power statement," so I will do my best to decifer what you're getting at.
I think you're trying to get to the statement about the relationship between turbo size and power you'll make at a given psi (ie, 10psi on a GT42 will make more power than 10psi on a t25)?
Now to answer you're question simply, if you put a bigger wheel on your turbo and either machine your current housing to accept the wheel or get a larger compressor housing, you will make more power at the same psi b/c you are moving more air. However, because you now have more rotating mass (the bigger wheel will weigh more) you'll have some more lag, how much? Idk, it all depends on your setup and what you currently have. Most likely it won't be much.
Remember psi=pounds per square inch, think about a large box pressurized to 10psi than a smaller box at 10psi, which one has more air inside of it? The larger one obviously, same with turbo's, a larger turbo will hold/flow more air at the same pressure.
Also, be sure to have your shaft balanced when you replace the wheel.
Hope this helped
