Most of the C-900 "Aero's" only had the Air Flow ground effects and whale tail. One way to tell is if your car came originally with a leather shift boot and handle and dark Grey interior or not. The T-3 Garrett turbo's are able to be made bigger for less money by swapping other T-3 compatible parts like Nissan 280 / 300 compressor housings and wheels etc. The Mitsubishi TE05 turbo's are unique to the '90 SPG / '91-'93 900T / '94 commemorative and convertibles as they have a T-3 flange. What I like about the TE05 is that it has less turbo lag. The Nissan T-3 equivalent compressor wheel for a TE05 is a 16G, they came stock with a 12G however most places fail to improve the thrust bearing in these neat little turbo's like they typically do with a T-3! Also a proper downpipe is much easier to make for a TE05 than a T-3, Brad (KC Saab) will have one available in the near future. Anyway the more serious turbo is the Garrett and there are ways to deal with the ever present lag problems. Dave
