t3/t4=fast spool up, good top end
t4/t3=slow spool up, bad top end.

Is this right?

Also why does the darg gen site say the turbo they come with is a t4/t3 to4e??? Is this the same a t4/t3 or a different turbo?

NOOOOOO.

Damn. I'm surprised no one has caught this thread yet!

when most people say "t3/t4" they most likely mean T3/TO4E, T3/TO4B, or T3/TO4S.

The only difference with all 3 of those is the compressor housing. And of course there are smaller variables like housing AR's, and trims that also come into play within each housing.

T3 is the style of exhaust turbine housing, while the T4 is the style of compressor housing.

a "t4/t3" does not exist.

t4/t3 doesn't exist? Why does drag say that there kits come with t4/t3? Is the t4/t3 really a t3/t4?

Thanks for the help so far.
