Yes, the super 60 was not an OEM wheel.

Yup, either or is a nice turbo for a D.

Re: The real Super .60?

turbonetics super 60 is a uber nice turbo

Re: The real Super .60?

But it is rather expensive.

Re: The real Super .60?

you guys are easily impressed by the word "super" :P
The "super" 60 from turbonetics is not really nicer than a regular 60 trim.
the only difference is 0.07" larger inducer diameter only, which is good for barely 30 extra HP at equivalent efficiency.

The t3 super 60 is completely pointless when you consider that a much cheaper garrett T04B S (that's 48 trim) or 54 trim or even t04e 40 or 46 trim compressor side from the most common diesel engine (if slapped on the same stage 1 t3 turbine side) will easily outflow the super 60 by 50-100HP without a significant loss of spool up.

For those of you who are inconditionals of the T3, if you really want to make it any "super" your only hope will be to overbore the 60 trim housing and backplate and fit one of the above wheels in it. it's gonna be much more expensive than the equivalent t3/t4 and despite all the work involved into this job, will perform about the same.
Here, a T3 60 trim from the nissan z31 in which a t04b V trim was fitted. Now that's a more "super" t3 60 but believe me, it has not much to envy to the t3/t04b v trim with it's proper housing.

Ok, then the final answer are: The only real super 60 are from turbonetics, any other are 60 trim, and theres no much difference betwen those super 60 and 60 trim, the only difference are the prize, the 60 trim are a lot cheaper, thats right?
