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

Let me help clerify you. TBirds and Mustangs used Garretts. The Ford Probe used the IHI.

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..
