Re:t3 trim

I believe that the trim is determined by the size of the turbine rotor in mm.

FYI...

Those numbers (the ones on the housing) are the a/r of the housing, not the trim. The "trim" usually refers to the compressor trim,and is the size of the compressor wheel. But both wheels have a "trim". No idea what yours is.

Re:t3 trim

The only way to know for sure is to take the compressor housing off and measure the the compressor wheel (unless somebody knows the trim for a stock 85 saab turbo). Check out this post on HT for some good info... http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=708622

The exducer diameter on all these turbos are the same, but the inducer diameter and flow rate are different.
