I did pull the turbine and compressor housings.
Turbine approximately 65.5 x 56
Compressor approximately 70 x 58.5
I didn't try for super accurate measurements, just wanted to see how they compared.
The same as my last turbo, the 2 turbine housings are interchangeable, except for the fact that Lars didn't build the exhaust for the larger housing. It still fits better than any big aftermarket exhaust I have ever used, only an occasional knock on a hard launch.

Your turbine wheel specs are the same as mine- which is typical of all eBay .63 AR t3 turbo turbines. Though the compressor is similar to Garrett T04B (70 x 55.4) - which I think is what vitamin j ended up with in his eBay BB turbo. Are the wheel and housing significantly larger than your prior T3? Curious to see the spool difference.

The compressor is the same, I could bolt my old .48 housing on the new turbo and have the exact same turbo I have been running for the last couple years.
The spool difference from just the turbine housing is significant. It doesn't have the same snap, but it sure comes on strong. Perhaps I can beat the traffic next week and have some passes to waste.

No worries, it was a late invite and then the cold wind blew in the next day anyway.
If I was going to moon Vlad I would do it right, like this, full, and from the track
Damn cell phone drivers!

Uh oh, my car is on jack stands again
Ok, ok, I wanted to freshen up the brakes and swap out the normal headlight for the HID one now that I got a replacement ballast. I think I will leave it on stands before I go score some pads and rotors. You know, to even things up a bit
Also made 5th in the "Top 20 packages list" last Wednesday night, not my words, but that's what she said. I didn't even know that was a thing until my friend mentioned me there.

What happened to this place?
I left myself wide open there and nobody even made a wisecrack?
How about, you know the best package is the smallest one in this context?
Or maybe, dood, the best package is the shortest amount of time, like fractions of a second!

Actually, my wife had no idea that the girl with the timeslips was checking out everybody's package.
However, now she's just blabbing to all her friends that I have the 5th best package.
If she only realized that the 5th best package only lasted .039 seconds, I thought Al Bundy was bad. It is actually the difference between my dial in time and my actual E.T. added to my reaction time, I hit that .001 light during elimination last time. People were impressed because it is unusual for a "gear jammer" to make that list, almost all "jackpot" and "comp rod," those guys have electronic boxes to launch.

I don't even have a package today boy, won't my wife be shocked later tonight
My POS car, won't be gettin' too far. The clutch line failed today, right at the light to get into the track. I actually got stuck for one light cycle, pumping didn't help, had to give it a minute, then one engagement is all I got. Sure wish this happened a couple days ago. Oh well, no races until August now. maybe I will go visit Vlad, pretty sure they run every week there.

If you have a couple hundred thousand miles on your car and have the motor out or the head off. Do yourself a favor and change the little clutch hose, maybe get one of the nice braided lines from TSE or 949. It is a pain to get to the lower fitting with the motor in, unless you eliminate the coiled hard line.

If you ever touch the clutch line or anything around it, per common MT knowledge replace immediately with the 200% simpler and better braided line that costs next to nothing, eliminating many headaches and cut wrists in the future and forever, and throw the oe curly-q into the trash where it belongs
