yes it does, but be careful, our engines suffocate quite easily, and then your top end will suffer, and i believe if it's an extreme enough case you can damage things.

i'm not a pro at these things, but i saw no one had answered and figured i'd throw my 2cents in.

Pardon my ignorance but is a T3/t4 larger than stock, or is it roughly the same size, just a more efficient turbo?

if the turbo itself is small then running the small turbine housing isn't so bad. you get a larger compressor side on there and maintain the same little turbine and you will start to have issues.

nothing bad really but it becomes a choke. your top end won't be as strong as it should be and egt's start to climb.

just try it and see how it does .... oh and you should hang with sti's on a stock turbo
