I really need to know the difference between a T3/4 and a T04.
I would like to know the lag time difference and the power difference.  
Which would be better for a Ka-T engine driven on the streets?
Also, will one be more powerful at the same psi as the other?
HELP!!

I use to have a t3/t4 it was a nice quick spoolin little turbo,but they also come in different trims. it all depends on ur mods. if u had head work done u can get away w a bigger turbo. see i like top speed and my motor is fully built so i went w a t4. its good for like 600hp but it keeps pullin till i shift @ 7300 rpm. the t3/t4 was out of breath at around 5k but it spooled up very quick so quick that i didnt notice lag at all.
i suggest calling HKS or turbonetics and tell them what u want the turbo to do. i just called john @ fastrax when i wanted to turbocharge he asked me acouple q's and voila.
there is so many different trim levels of hybrid t3/t4 then u can shake a stick @ so its not an easy q to answer.
if u dont drag or go top speed and want something that is quick on the street go w a t3/t4 also call xs-engineering they are pretty good as well.
