Re:help identify my t3
 

The Dodge T3 is a .50 trim turbo with .42 compressor AR... only about half the OEM turbo's compressor AR and trim match up. It is good for 250 hp. If it were the Saab unit, 220 hp.

Don't worry about the exhaust elbow setup on that T3 so much... just cut it off close to the wastegate flapper arm (so you keep the internal wastegate) and just weld your downpipe to it at whatever angle you need. Works great for the TT 5.0 crowd.

FYI, the Garrett is physically bigger than the 14b due to how old it's design is... Garrett T-series are just plain huge for their flow numbers. They still work, though ;)

If you're going external wastegate, just pick up one of these

Re:help identify my t3
 

ok i just picked up a t3/t4 airesearch turbo. the exhauast is .48 and compressor is.60A/R and it says T04 onn it, it has the chrysler style flange ( where cacn i pick up one of these BTW ? i seeen em on here b4) so is ccustom coach saying .. that the downpipee flange is different than any other T3 turbine flan ge ?

Re:help identify my t3
 

uhm.. i think air research only made t4's.. i dont know of any stock turbos that were t3/t4's. u gotta watch out when pepole try to sell there t3's as t4's.

is the exhaust flange split?

also run the external wastegate. takes up less room and it isnt as prone to boost creep. but make the external wastegate flow with the manifold, not tee off it..

Re:help identify my t3
 

it sounds like a T3, my stock one said air research on it.
