Sorry to sound like a chav but what feels quicker out of the .48 or .63? What one will press you into the seat more? It's confusing as I'd of guessed the laggier .63 would 'feel' quicker but I've read so many people saying that the 0.48 is more punchy. What do they mean about that?

Possibly, but it's torque that causes you drivetrain issues, I did 6 4x4 boxes on the t34.48 before going for a bara box only at 370bhp, but 420lb/ft so the clutch needs to be quite strong. I used a paddle plate with genuine ford cover with good results
I had to use a paddle on mine as it has same torque but a bit more power due to slight manifold and turbo specs but the same map as James.
As said it is so much fun to drive leave it in 5th and off you go.
Theres is always better out there but a T38 bolts straight on and has done 2 years racing with no issues, if I had a huge budget yes I would like a BW turbo and over 500 bhp but if I do that I can't afford to race the next season..
The T38 fits straight on and will work fine for EKJIM's needs

I have got a CR T38 with billet compressor on my 450bhp 2wd and have had no issues at all, virtually no lag is what I like about it. I have had several turbos from CR and always top quality and Vince is very helpful.
There is lots of things to think about here , I had a talk to Vince at CR just before the break , and got a quote to make my t34 63 a billet compressor wheel and roller bearing , AVA says this should hit full boost around 500 rpm quicker . Im just now thinking how much more it would be to convert to roller bearing t38 it would save me changing the turbo again if I want a bit more power .
T36 mate, but marks just about to build me an alloy blocked engine. plan is to run it on the t36 and L8 this year then mark put it on that little bw efr twin scroll and emtron next winter. Happy New year by the way dude

How much did he quote u to convert your t34 to t38 spec if u don't mind me asking? I'm trying to decide what to do myself as got a t34 here and a mint .63 housing want good response and around 400hp.

The only T38 I found works in a TT one the rest have always been a compramise, With the TT version you compramise that with lag.

Yeah true but thought if I get it converted to t38 I won't have to change the turbo again when I want a bit more power when I finish building the 200 block engine. Still on a 205 block in my Capri at the moment.
