picked up new turbo for cheap, cheap! but take a look and advise

well i ran into a guy i know who had a new Garret T3 ( 63 hot/ 42 cold, standard trim wheel) for really cheap, so cheap that i could not pass up. isn't this A/R a weird combo?

it will be going on a mini me set up... any opinions as to the characteristics of this turbo? besides the obvious, later spool time...

what kind of car is that. That would be good for a 1.6-2.2 liter engine.

sounds like a guy had a 60/63 and a 42/48. He didn't want the 63 a/r so he swapped the 48 and 63 a/r's. Leaving him with a nice little 60/48 turbo and you with the leftovers 42/63.
