    All I know is that the compressor housing has been machined out and he told me that he put bigger wheels on the compressor + exhaust wheels.

    Just wondering what are the common specs for the highflow t3 as I am wanting more power and seeing if enlarging the compressor wheel + housing is feesable?

    Yeah, thanks, but google is a search filter only, and going through 20+ pages and finding nothing is rather frustrating - I thought i'd ask those in the know.

    Thanks for your help anyway!

    yes that is highflowed
    the way to tell is to look at the lip of the intake on the front compressor housing
    normally the lip will get thicker towards the wheel like a funnel towards the point where your transfering the fluid

    with a high flow the lip will not be like a funnel but even thickness all the way

    as for spec it will vairy on what wheels were used etc

    how much more do you want out of the T3? what you currently running (psi/engine comp/setup)

    The lip on the compressor housing is even all the way to the compressor wheel.

    The motor is standard RB30DET, with forged pistons and ported cylinder heads with a N/A cam shaft. it has bigger injectors with a WOLF 3D advanded engine management computer system and front mount and a 3" exhaust.

    With fifteen pounds of boost it made 255 rwhp through the standard auto.

    It ran a best of 13.7 @ 107 with alot of wheel spin in first gear with standard 3:45 LSD gear ratios.

    All im after is low 12's with my setup, what would you recommend as a low dollar performance mod that I use as my daily driver to make a 60 kilometre round trip each day to work as it needs to be economical, thats why i dont want to alter the diff gears?

    (i'm having this dictated to me by my man... hope it makes sense!!)

    mybad forgot to reply

    well if you ahve the set up at its limit tunning abilaty wise then you might want to look into the drive train so it can get the power to the floor

    is the diff single wheeling baddly? or still tight
    get the trans built to reduce the slop between gears and then look back to power
