Not all T3's are big. The biggest T3 is the Super60, which flows about 35lbs/min. The smallest is the 40trim which flows about 20lbs/min. See
www.64.225.76.178/main.htm
Turbo Tbirds came with T3 turbos, not the T3/T4 hybrids that are popular in the import tuner scene, which can put out over 500hp. I used to have a T3/T4 50 trim on my other car- it was big.
A Mitsu 14b from the 1990-1994 DSM is rated at 28lbs/min. A T25 from the 1995-1999 DSM is rated at about 25lbs/min. I upgraded the turbo on my Laser from the stock 14b to a 16G, which is rated at about 38lbs/min. I think the bigger exhaust side of the 16g lets the motor breath better even when not making boost.
VFAQ.com is a great site for turbo DSM's, here's some related info:
"What is the maximum output from the various turbos?

TD05-14B (stock 1st gen) 275-300hp @ 21 psi

Water cooled turbos don't need to a turbo timer unless you like to shut the motor off right after a hard run at WOT. Mitsu turbos are water (engine coolant) cooled. I've been EOCing off the freeway for over a year. I'll see EGT's around 820*C while cruising on the freeway, ECT around 206-209*F, everything is hot, and I'll shut the motor off and coast, sometimes stopping at a red light before restarting the car. Yes, synthetic oil is needed, plus my car came with an oil cooler, so the turbo has protection from heat damage. I'm glad I have a OEM reliable turbo system.
