its all down to personal preferance, would u mind a bit of lag or not!?!?
you got to choose a suitable turbo for your engine spec etc
you can read a guide on how to fit a T3 on www.fiestaturbo.com

i agree with gav. there is no right or wrong answer here. its up to you, what do you want from the car, what is your driving style, what will the car be used for, etc!

U should also consider a escos t28.. Flows better than a t3.. Fits onto t3 manifold if u were gonna do the conversion anyways..
