T3 Trim Questions
So I was looking at a Ford T-bird T3 turbo.
Looks like there are 2 different ones (I might have the # reversed):
T3 .48/.60
T3 .63/.60
1) How much of a difference is there b/t the two?
2) Which is the one Brain runs?
Thanks.

do some research, you know what it came off of...
.60/.48 tells me two things only: it has a .60 A/r compressor housing and it has a .48 A/R turbine housing.
The turbine, since a factory unit, is more than likely the standard Stage-I wheel, so with teh .48 A/R housing it's a good size for a 1.6L; what I use.
As far as the compressor wheel is concerned, I have no clue what size it could be without doing the research for you. I'm sure I could type in google "Ford T-bird T3 turbo" find out everything you want to know and then copy in paste it over here, but instead I decided to use that time to write this reply instead.
My guess is going to be a 60 trim wheel capable of around 250-300rwhp or so.
