I got some of my turbo stuff in yesterday, rest is being ordered tomorrow. I have a question on the turbo though. I ordered a t3/t04e turbo, .57 trim and .63 a/r. I am trying to confirm that they sent me the right sized turbo but the numbers stamped on my turbo are confusing me. The compressor housing is stamped with a/r 60, the exhaust housing has a 63 near the turbo flange. I am pretty positive my exhaust housing is correct, but I'm not sure I got the right sized comressor. I know it's a t04e because there are 6 blades on the compressor rotor, but I'm not sure it's the right trim. Does the a/r 60 stamped on the compressor housing denote the "trim" size? I think I am confused, anyone help out? BTW, pics are here:

Nevermind. I figured out the "57 trim" refers to the actual compressor wheel. The a/r 60 is correct size compressor and the exhaust side is correct too at .63 a/r with a stage III turbine....
