Whats the difference between the Garrett T3 Turbo & Garrett T3 "SUPER 60" Turbo

Garrett T3 Turbo

-Rebuilt Garrett T3 Turbocharger
-45 or 60 Trim Compressor Wheel
-.42 A/R (Shown) or .60 A/R Compressor Housing**
-.48 A/R or .63 A/R Turbine Housing Option
-Stage 1 Turbine Wheel
-Internal Wastegate Option (.48 A/R Housing Only)

Garrett T3 "SUPER 60" Turbo

-Rebuilt Garrett T3 "Super60" Turbocharger
-Super 60 Trim Compressor Wheel
-.42 A/R or .60 A/R (Shown) Compressor Housing**
-.48 A/R or .63 A/R Turbine Housing Option
-Stage 1 Turbine Wheel
-Internal Wastegate Option (.48 A/R Housing Only)

So if i got the 60 trim compressor wheel on the garrett t3 turbo would it be the same as the super 60 for $60 less?
thanks

The Super 60 is closer to a 65 trim. Why they call it Super 60, I don't know. The two wheels have the same outlet diameter, but the input diameter of the Super 60 is a tad larger.




60 trim = (1.83mm^2) / (2.367mm^2) x 100 = 59.8


Super 60 trim = (1.90mm^2) / (2.367mm^2) x 100 = 64.4

here are compressor maps

60 trim




Super 60



As you can see, the Super 60 is a bit more efficient in the higher air flow range. If you plan on running higher boost, then go with the Super 60.


I know a few people with the Super 60, and they seem quite happy with it.

Thanks for that info. I'm trying to learn all the different specs of turbos and that helped with one thing I was wondering.

Im gona be using a t3 super .60, I only want around 7psi though. For the amount of boost you want Id go with something bigger and bb, like a gt series.
