T-bird turbo coupes are good for them, usually people can get away with running the ones from an automatic (which have smaller turbos), but if you are actully putting down those numbers you need the ones from a 5 speed.
The T-bird Turbocoupe Turbos are the same between the autos and manuals. The 83-86 had a T3 .60/.60 and the 87-88 has an IHI .48/.48.

No, the 83-86 had T3-60 trim .60 a/r compressor housings, with a .48 exhaust on the automatics & a .63 a/r on the manual cars. The 87 & 88 cars used an IHI completely different than the T3. It was smaller & spooled faster, but ran out of air sooner than the earlier ones. The 87 & 88 are intercooled so they gave more power.

Honestly never heard of that. I know the gears were different on the autos/manuals, but I swore they had the same turbo. (All mine were manuals though....) I know on Merkurs and SVOs they used the .60/.48 though.

Nope, different turbos. I'm 100% sure.
