Default can a stage1 turbo be made stage 3

i ask as i bought a stage1 turbo a couple of years ago for me series1 but ended up taking the car off the road for a full resto. Anyway i got carried away with the engine build and now a stage1 wont really be big enough. I have aquired a .63 escos t34 but would obviously take some pissing about to make fit. So my question is can my stage1 be made stage3 or am i best of selling the stage 1 and putting the t34 on. O and would there be mich difference between a stage3 erst turbo and a t34

you would have to get a bigger compressor front housing and wheel and maybe the back plate!

their all bolt on bits so if you get them cheap enough then if NOT then sell it and go with the T34

the difference between your turbo and stage 3 id guess will be the compressor setup (stage 3 will use 60 trim cossie comp cover and wheel) and a .48 ex housing, Yours can be converted yes quite easily although removal of original comp wheel and fitment of another id advise balancing to the unit after
