Default Which size T3 on a D16z6?

Like the title says. I'm looking at garret T3 turbos and was wondering which one would be better for around 7 to 10 pounds of boost on a D16Z6. .60 on the compressor side and .48 on the turbine side or .42 on the compressor side and .48 on turbine side. Like I said it will be run on a stock D16Z6 and for fmu will prolly have 440 ingectors bigger fuel pump and the AFC hack. Also I am prolly gonna get it externally wastegate, and a drag manifold will I have any clearence issues with the A.C or PS?

id say go with the 60/48, t3 they are nice good boost all the way to redline, and if u havent already cuase you have said the car is stock, i whould open up the exhaust with some bigger piping, it will spool the turbo faster

or

Also will I be able to keep my ac and ps with a drag manifold or should I get a differant one. Can someone reccomend me a good place to get a downpipe for it or should I just go to a muffler shop?

That one should work just fine, and for a good price too.

I don't believe you can use that manifold with A/C. Your best bet is a log manifold.

A muffler shop is about the best option for a downpipe. You can't really buy a pre-fabricated downpipe that's just going to bolt up without any welding or modification.

I just bought that T3 60 trim .60/.48 off eBay not too long ago. I should have my turbo parts installed and dyno tuned by mid february so I will let ya know. It looks like they are upping the price... I got mine for $310 shipped. It's from MJM auto parts.

What was your reasons for goin with the .60/.48 over the .42/.48.

Also how is the quality on the log manifold? Would a greddy manifold with adaptor plate work?

Well I decided on the .60/.48 because it was remanufactured and $310. It will have better top end and make more power. It will have a little more lag, but I like to think of that as traction control. My car is a daily driver, but I am also planning on racing it on the street/strip. I figured if I end up building the motor this turbo would workout better too. I'm not sure how different the turbos would be, but maybe someday I will throw ona .42/.48 for ***** and giggles to find out.

So given the same conditions the .60/.48 turbo will make more power than the .42/.48. I kinda like your idea of traction control too. The reason I wanting this one is cause I can get it brand new for 350 or I can get the .42/.48 for 300 remanufactured.
