thx,

A t03/t04 turbo is a turbo with a t3 compresser wheel and a t4 turbine wheel.

or do I have it backwards?

How much horsepower will a stock t3 turbo usally push or hold whatever u want to call it .... garrett t3

Well, with a stock 60 A.R. compressor and a .48 turbine, it starts maxing out around 280 rwhp.
You can push 300 RWHP out of a 60/.63, but that's about it.

If you hit 250 rwhp, it's better to just upgrade to a larger unit from there.
 
The key here is remembering your "pushing" your stock turbo when your closing in on 300rwhp.

A proper sized turbo for 300rwhp would meerly be lounge'n about with an iced tea , where as a stock t3 would be huffing and puffing like a 40 year smoker on his 8th pack for the day.

Being done, and being done right are two differnt things :)
