I personally like the response of the T04E 50 trim compressor and Stage .48 A/R turbo that Turbonetics uses in their kit. Its really quite versatile. Spools up quick, makes great power all the way to redline, and the compressor can flow to 470 HP of air. The GT-K line will cost you a bit more then the standard T3/T4 setup but the benefits are amazing. Unfortunately I don't have anymore details on them and Turbonetics is keeping a pretty tight seal on info about them till SEMA. I can't wait to post up the info though.

Turbonetics has an oil pressure restrictor built into the turbo, so you don't have to worry about finding the right restrictor out there, or blowing the seals of your turbo any time soon. I've had great luck with all of the turbonetics turbos I've run or installed.

-im headin to bed for the night though. I'll follow up with you in the morning. Thanks.
Here Here I am a turbonetics man myslef

Stick with a smaller AR. That turbo will surge way too much lat lower rpms/boost and not make enough power on the top end to balance it out. Something smaller will actually be faster.
I have a big turbo and you would not believe how fast it spools it is Ball Bearing though. But I mean super fast like 3500-4000rpms

Is the Turbonetics T3 super 60 a 60 trim? If not what the super 60 referring to?

So, I am still looking and reading and it seems that the t3/t4 will be the best choice. I am looking at a 50/48 setup......Here are links to the turbo, let me know what you guys think.

I am leaning more towards the Garrett turbo since I have heard very good things about them......

Also, I will be running it at 9psi daily.....

All depends on the amount of lag and ultimate goal of power your looking for. Are you planning on building the motor?

To answer the T3 Super 60 question yes a T3 Super 60 is a Super 60 trim T3 wheel. Keep in mind though that T3 is a type of wheel (size, etc) and Super 60 is the trim. A T3 Super 60 will not flow as much as a T04 E 50 or even 57 trim..

I dont plan on building the motor anytime soon. I want as little lag as possible and I want to run 9psi. I want full boost as soon as possible and I want it to stay all the way to redline.

So, would a 50/48 be a good choice with a stage 3 wheel......

stage 3 is too big IMHO for a stock motor. Turbonetics runs a T04E 50 trim compressor and Stage 2 .48 A/R turbine section. Ceramic ball bearing of course.
