I got 2 of the chrysler housing versions of the same deal for ~$105 each. My guess is that picture they're using is just a mix-up. If you ask them to supply a picture of their super60 (and prove its a at-the-moment picture), it will look almost exactly like the regular 60.
BTW blaast, is the machining usually done with a custom-profile endmill bit? I know they cut small runs of wheels with a cnc, usually a vertical mill with a rotary table. I would doubt they'd put the housing on a mill, as the jig wouldn't be fun.

dcg9381 is right: it's possible to over bore a 60 trim into a super 60, provided you can find that rare wheel, but why just a super 60 while more efficient and cheaper wheels are available Here, I fitted a t04B 63 trim wheel in the t3 60 housing. It will outflow any super 60.

What's the machine work cost to modify the housing?
The thing that irks me is all the people selling t3-60s as "super 60", knowing that they should get more money for an upgraded thrust and more expensive compressor... This guy sent me the inducer measurements and knows damn well that it's not a super-60:

Such custom fitted turbo is always gonna be more expensive because of the labor involved. i do a lot of this because for some reason, people find a SUPER 60 sexy but what's the point really? I mean, Going full t3/t4 is much simpler! From my point of view, slapping the proper sized t04B backplate and housing on that t4 wheel is cheaper and performs basically the same.
oh, for those who think turbonetics turbos systematically come with a 360° thrust, well, not really. i saw plenty with the regular thrust plate and when i saw some 360° thrust, it was rarely bolted down as it has to be in order for you to get the said benefits.

these days, my current inventory allows me to offer the stage 1 t3 60trim .48/.60 for 399$ to HMT members.
6 month warranty on it.
You can choose two different compressor housings:
You may be able to get a cheaper one in used condition on ebay, or "rebuilt" with chinese parts as the biggest ebay turbo shops do.

- The ford type with flanges
