I can't see your pics, red X demon. is this a .43 (.48 maybe?) T-3 hotside? if so you are seriously choking your high RPM potential, been there, I wouldn't go any smaller than a .63 (stock A/R) on a t-3, a .48 is way too small IMO. like I said I can't see your pics to know for sure what it is, but I'd swap the .48 hotside for the stock .63 housing

it is a very out of the odinary hot side .. they are on hybridz ... but im not looking for anything past 6K and i am not looking for lag but a flat curve on a ~9:1 cr engine with MsS
BTW on eurospecs the hotside is .85 stock dare to be diffrent i guess

brought to you by limited-paradigm thoughts well within the box of last century's design concepts....
There are many ways in which to employ a turbo, they all don't use a huge A/R and spool above 4500rpms...

How much did you pay for that beast frank?

"brought to you by limited-paradigm thoughts" thats funny... I haven't seen the pics, but if this is a typical T-3 .48 turbine housing, it's too small to make any real power, I ran nearly that exact same snail for about 2 years, just trying to come across with some real world experience, but I guess in the future I'll keep it to myself

You got mail ! it is nothing like a stock housing, it came of a ford WRX car... and flows way more than any other housing i have ever seen (not that im around turbos all day, but im told by the experts it is fairly unique)
Well so you can join in i emailed them Inline!

it is just desinged for the best flow the exhaust opening is 72MM.. ill keep you updated..
The guy told me this would best suit my driving needs after telling him my plans, and well my desire to use it at a track.
So this should give me a 1500rpm boost buildup line.

Thou talketh out thy arse, yet now admit that my commentary was spot-on in this situation, as usual...
For Christ's Sake, you didn't even LOOK at his photos he posted, and had to have them mailed to you before you realized you weren't familiar with what he had.
Did he ever SAY it was a "stock" housing?
You didn't even realize the stock turbo in his application has a .82, and NOT a .63 A/R on the turbine side!
I stand by my comments, it was another Z-Car.com Parrot Screech.
Especially since Frank stated he was not interested in any sort of power beyone 6K rpms.
