I wish I had known what cars came with T4s from the factory before I bought all these turbo parts. Oh well. Would a T4 compressor wheel help at all or is it the T3 housing itself that's inefficient? I'll make a new thread with pictures of my "junk" turbos tomorrow.

Dude, I'm running the RX-7 HT-18 Compressor on my turtle-diesel. And I have been planning on getting a Mercedes 300 Turbo Diesel Turbine, they are .48 A/R right?
With the stock D24T turbine its just .36 A/R.
Anyways, The HT-18 seems to be more rightly sized for this engine. Has anyone got any idea of what A/R it is? Looks like a .60 to me. I love how it just howls at 10psi pulling my 240 wagon up the sylvan hill out of portland.
