.42 compressor, .48 exhaust. he says its a T3/T4 but if it is, it is the smallest one I have ever heard of. it looks like it is a Mopar upgrade turbo for the turbo Dodges to me, but I'm really not sure.
I'm leaning towards it spools crazily fast but would have trouble making even 300hp. am I right??

thats real weird. thats the same a/r as my T3. but whats weird is it looks like the exhaust housing has the 5 bolt t3 flange, but it has the 4 t4 bolt holes in it... very weird.

that's why I'm asking this question there was a T3 I was looking at before that had the same a/r as this but this one looks nothing like it... might flow a bit better in the top end... but I really don't know its only $260cdn brand new so I am tempted to get it.

I believe that would be the T3/T04E turbo. Definitely the smallest size it comes in, but you also get the benefit of owning a ball bearing turbo. I think that seems to be a pretty damn good deal to me. Go for it, then let us know how it works out for ya.
EDIT: I just happened to notice what I believe says Master Power on the turbo. If so, I'm not too sure that would be a good buy. I have read and heard many horror stories about their turbos basically just falling apart. I know there are some who use them and have never had any problems at all, but others who had them working less than a week. Just do some research on it, and make an informed decision for yourself. If you decide to get it, that is an awesome price for sure.

Well I have a .50 compressor and .48 hot side. It needs a center section rebuild. Pics of it are in the For Sale section. Thread is "FS: Many Things......(Pics)"

Aww how cute...it looks like a turbo....only smaller.
Garrett discharge flanges came is 2 diff output flanges, 5 bolt and 4 bolt, just depends on how the turbo was assembled from the factory (for which vehicle).
I doubt that is a t3/t4. only way to tell for sure is disassemble the turbo and check the part numbers on the backside compressor wheel.

thats what I was thinking. I wanted the T3 flange and to start out with a small turbo so I can move up to a T3/T4 down the road, I might just go with a mitsu turbo though

I'll probably buy a turbo around the same size, but none of this mystery T3/T4 nonsense. It'll be a real T3 my car is going to be an a-x machine when I'm finished, right now the times were decent, but I'm really down on power comin out of the tight turns and lose a lot of ground to my buddies' cars.
