Re:need info on super 60 ASAP!
just because itsa 48/60 doesnt mean its a super60. their completely different animals. the housing is larger and the fins are definately bigger. here are some pics of my old turbonetics super 60
notice the size of the freaking inlet. it was almost 3 inches wide,well ok maybe 2.5 buts it hella laarger than a 48.60 t3

That is what you got. The guy generally gives what he advertises, he just uses the wrong name to label all of his items.
which is .48/.60 as long as i didn get scamed that pic is a "Garrett Super 60"

Okay so i went a bought it, i measured the inducer right there at the guys house 
and its was indeed a .48/.60 60 trim not a super 60. the inducer measured 1.830 exactly! so i took it anyways the dude was kinda pissed cause he wanted 300 for it and i gave him 100 cash. but oh well, so i have me a .48/.60 60 trim now! and the thing is in great shape also absolutley NO shaft play and fins look good overall im stoked!
random strike, you should measure the inducer just for ***** and giggles (unless its still on your car) my turbo looks exactly like yours. all the pics ive seen of the garret super 60 have the tube that comes off the compressor housing like the turbonetics above, not the 2 bolt flange like yours and mine. im just curious thats all!

why not? I bet those log manifolds flow the same as a ported HF manifold
