What did your T3 come off of, or do you know? With a .36 A/R exhaust it sounds like a Volvo diesel unit. To answer your question you can swap the exhaust housings from one T3 turbo to another, they all interchange. I personaly think a .36 is to small for a high reving engine, its great for a low RPM diesel but not so good for what you are talking about doing.

.36 a/r would spool at like 2000rpm

that would suck.. shitty fuel mileage

Well, it looks like both sides of this turbo are worthless to me. Thanks for your help, people.

Hey Crx,
Now that we know how much you got it for, how much are you selling it for?

remember the auto turbo coupe has less a/r on the exhaust side. something like .48 and the manual had a .63

Oh, btw, what does "A/R" stand for? Air Raito? No.. that can't be because it's a specific measurement, not a ratio.. "

A/R A=area R=radius
