braineack,
The .42 housing also has a smaller inlet than the .60. The more boost, the more air you need to suck in. The smaller inlet becomes a restriction/limitation.

A vanilla T3/T04E with a stage 1 wheel in a .48 fills the gap between the straight T3 60/48 and the T3/T04Etrim stage 3.

A vanilla T04E w/ a stage 1 .48a/r turbine is not something I reccomend. The lowest flowing T04E wheel is a 46trim and its around 400whp capable. The stage 1 turbine isnt efficient for any more than 300whp so why use a compressor thats capable of more and hinder it with a weak turbine wheel? A T3 S60 compressor is also a little large for the stage 1 wheel but it does work up to 300whp.

A .46 trim T04E is really only good to ~325 whp within a decent efficiency (%74). Makes it a pretty good match for a stage 1 wheel.

Different strokes I guess.

Hell I'll probably happy with my T3 .60/48. Even if I overspin it some it's not like I'll put more than 5-6K on the car in a year.
That's the good thing about the Garretts vs the Mitsus. You can try any combo you like for relatively cheap with simple swaps.

I emailed them this moring when I saw it. They had a pic of a AFPR instead of the current pic. I've got one of the BEGI overstock '99-00 T3 manifolds so I was going to see if they'd separate them 'cause I don't have a downpipe for my install yet.
