I reckon thats a T3. At most it will be Stage 3, the only way you'll know that is to check Turbine housing size, which will probably mean taking the turbo off. It's not a T4 and I'm fairly sure its not a T34.

cant be 100% but looks the same as my stage 3 from turbotechnics, but hard to tell from pics without seeing it in the flesh so to speak.

stage 3 compared to a standard t3 = bigger compressor wheel and the .48 exhaust housing

like i said take the boost pipe off and take a pic of the compressor wheel

the manifold was designed by ava for shed loads of torque


and it works


other advantages are that i can now run a nice size rad / intercooler without the comp housing putting hole in rad
