Garrett, AirResearch and Honeywell are the same!

I have a T3/T4 on my '91. Can't wait to K-swap it. That ole B18 will be built for the '00!

T3/T4 what? That's such a generic statement since there's many variations of the combination, might be good to say what size and trim.

I personally like the good old Garrett T3/To4E 50 Trim. It has a good range, high pressure ability, perfect for a low-compression motor looking to make good power. However for a stock Honda motor I won't recommend it simply because in order to get the flow you want to make your power goal, you'd have to run a pretty high pressure rating. In your case the standard Garrett T3/T04e 57 Trim would be a much better choice, allowing for higher flow rates but at a much lower pressure ratio than the 50 Trim. And I hate to say it, but I've been seeing quite a few of the ebay 57 Trims being balanced for a change so that they actually last a decent while, so the choice is really up to you.

I'm not putting an eBay turbo on my cars, I want to have 100% faith in my parts and replacing them cause I was to cheap to buy them from a reputable source isn't cutting it.
