Jordan,
Hope all is well!
Turbocharger part numbers can be fairly confusing but this may be of some help:
T3 GARRETT - A turbocharger used on a wide array of vehicles, including SAAB from the early 1980s and up. SAAB employed this turbocharger on the early 900 and 9000 to 1989. GARRETT offers a number of compressor wheel sizes which are designed to work efficiently at various horsepower ranges. The 45,50,55, and 60 compressor wheels were all offered through GARRETT with the 60 being the largest of the T3 family. Turbonetics manufactured a "Super 60" compressor wheel which is exclusive to the company and would also fit the T3, making a slight improvement over the GARRETT 60.
A T3/T4 hybrid is also common wherein the turbine side of the T3 would be mated with the larger T4 compressor side.
GARRETT T25 - Used on the SAAB 9000 after 1990 and all 900 after 1994. The Aero 9000 after 1993 used a slightly larger Mitsubishi TD04 turbocharger.
GARRETT GT17 - Found on the base model turbo 9-3 or 9-5.
MITSUBISHI TE05 - Used on the SAAB 900T between 1990 - 1993 and also installed to the 1989 SPG.
MITSUBISHI TD04 - Found on any Aero 9000 after 1993, 9-5 Aero, or Viggen 9-3.
