lol, that was a quick change to your IHI statement.

It's usable yes. To find out the exhaust A/R look in the inlet to the exhaust housing.

not at all.

The IHI 51t21 from the thunderbird has a t3 flange. it's far from a T3... It shares the same turbine wheel as the probe/323 ihi RHB5

The skyline gtr had a T25 with a t3 flange.

garrett, Borgwarner, holset, schwitzer are all producing many T3 flanged turbos and none of them are T3's. THey actually are T4 and even larger.
