All the chinese ones on ebay are the .63 A/R. You need the .48 A/R of a straight T3. I would search around on craigslist for blown up/half ruined turbos. There are lots of chinese ones out there bought by kids that think they are going to turbocharge their civic over night. If you can find a T3 with the exhaust housing you want, then just buy the T3T4 and swap the exhaust housing over. Or the other way around. Other than the chinese turbos, its hard to find a stage 3 .48 A/R exhaust housing to fit the T3T4 they are selling. You can also get a standard stage 1 T3 likea thunderbird/svo/dodge turbo and swap over the chinese T4 cold side. You will have to shave down the snout of the impeller where the nut seats as the shaft will be a little too short. Even if the turbo is worn, all you need is the exhaust housing and shaft, you can use your center section if the bearings are in better shape (what I did).
