Down sizing my Turbo ...???
 
i been running my setup for awhile now.
I am considering buying a T3 .50/.48, and trying it out and see how well it runs.

from what i have gathered from reserarching, it should give be a quicker spool, and a more responsive car.

you might loose flow on the top end.

think about it.. when you're racing.. do you ever drop below 4000rpm ?

my .63/.60 spools late as hell, which i'm actually starting to like, i'm not even boosting driving around town and still get 32 mpg around town, but it kicks ass at the track.

naw man.. the reason why you are getting 32mpg is cause you're leaning the ---- out of your maps and trying to burn that motor up

If you wanna send me that .63 exhaust housing in trade for a .48 I'm down :) It will spool up alot faster.
