im planning on purchasing a garrett t3/t04e in the next couple of weeks. i am stuck between either a .50 or a .57 compressor trim with a .63 a/r. i have a .5 bar tial wastegate, so i will be running fairly low boost. i was wondering which size compressor would be better for my application, or if there is a better turbo for the money that i should consider.

hrm, try reading the forum before posting stuff like this, you have to be a lot more specific in order for people to be able to help you, we it's a big board and we can't all assume you drive the same car as everyone else right, and even your goals and existing modifications to the engine / exhaust would be beneficial for reference.

50 trim is nice.

the 57 trim will give you more room to expand on in the future if you want to up the boost.

they will both spool pretty much at the same time if you get them both with the .63 hot side.......

my vote is for the 57 trim.....you can make more power with less boost and still have room to grow later on........

I would recommend the T3/T04E with a 50 trim compressor wheel and a T31 (Stage 3) turbine wheel with a .48 A/R turbine housing. A couple people will suggest the .63 A/R turbine housing but it's not needed for what you are doing.

True, but once you boost...you always want more....

Man I finally got the benefits of my 50 trim spooling characteristics last weekend;

Ran another coupe like mine running a sc61 boosting the same as me (that's what he says). From a 40mph roll. I put like 2 cars on him right away. It wasn't until 110mph+ that he caught up and he passed me while I was in fifth gear.

Obviously he was making more power than me but damn in the 1/4 mile I probably would have had him. and was I running race gas and my higher boost setting I would have had him for sure.

Moral of the story: There's nothing wrong with the 50 trim.
