Default T3 .48 .88 Good turbo or not?

I bought this from someone that told me it was a T3/T4, but Jeff from homemadeturbo.com looked at it today and said it is just a T3. He said it was really big though.


Is this turbo any good? I'm using a little T25, but just wondering what the deal is with this turbo.

Thanks

how much boost do you plan on running? Since your running a t25, i will assume this is going on an SOHC. which in that case this turbo would probably make most of it's power around in the top-end. I don't think many people here have experience with a .88 a/r T3, but I could be wrong.

I'm not looking to use this turbo...just want to know whats good and bad about it. So good top end and more lag? How much power do you think this turbo could make?

I bet that turbo could flow to 350hp. It might even be able to get a little more, but I have never seen a .88 used to it's max so don't quote me on that. The .48 trim or A/R is a little restrictive, but this turbo should have more lag then say your t25, or even an average sized t3

Not that it makes much difference but I double checked and the exhaust side is .89 not .88. sorry

is there anyway i can see a pic of the inlet of the turbine?
im curious as to whether that is a standard t3 flange, or the infamous, but never found, large chrysler turbine cause that doesnt look like a garrett cast turbine housing...
thanks in advance.

do you need a chrysler flange? I have one in my garage that came off my T3 that I got off a Chrysler LeBaron.
On the other hand I saw a big freakin T3 on a Dodge Shelby Z the other day at the junkyard, kinda wish I woulda pulled it.
