from cutting back the blades i think it allows the turbine to flow more gas through it so there will be less resistance there, but it will be laggier as the surface area of the blade is smaller.
i may be wrong but i think thats what its for, to basically make the turbo so it can flow abit more air and make abit more power at the expensive of abit of lag.

It was to reduce turbine shaft speed at high boost levels the by product was increased exhaust flow and an increase in power
They were laggier obviously but were used in the early era of als

I'd change the housing maybe?? Surely a .48 housing will improve spool?

Well obviously you're not going to make the power Of a T34.63 for starters, BUT you'll have instant respone but it will die at 6-6.5k revs.

Depends what you're after and what you want to use the car for, imo a live mapped TT Stage 2 T3 car is a great, punchy road car, but as said you'll make 310-320 max, if you want 360-390 then stay with what you have.

Hope this helps

PS, T34/48 is a great inbetweener

i would say it will be the best of both worlds.
with the 0.48 housing you will have the smallest housing to aid response but with the cut back blades you will have a more efficient turbine wheel to help it flow better, dare i say it may respond like a standard t34 on a 0.55 housing maybe ?

as you are now you have the potential of maximum power from the turbo but maximum lag to go with it.

You're hard work, all that you've posted above is what this thread is about

Leave it on then if you love your .63 and lag

Cut back blades were there for the high boost levels in rally cars to prevent the blades touching the turbo housing and causing all sorts of trouble.

I had on my saphire stg 2 cut back blades and it gave this all or nothing effect awesome in the dry scary " for passengers" in the rain.

so you have increased the size of turbo and the amount of air being produced is greater.

Hope your not running the same amount of boost.

More air = more fuel and any turbo change will require a chip change.
