Default turbo size question

what up fellas.I have a garret t25 and the a/r are .48 on the compressor side and .49 on the exhaust size.then I have a garret t3 that is .42 compressor and .48 on the exhaust side.the t3 looks much bigger but the a/r's as you see are smaller so which one is really bigger or better cause I wanted to swap my t25 for the t3.

yes that turbo is just right for you. if you do get that, swap the wastegate housing w/ the 42/48.

no just the wastegate flapper housing that connects to the turbine housing. the ford one has a wierd one that usually faces the block on hondas.
