theyre just different names for different turbos. The GT series is newer technology, the T3 and T4's have been around for a while. THe A/R describes the housings (compressor or turbine housing) and trim describes the wheels.Check out howstuffworks.com or read Maximum Boost by Corky Bell. They have much better explanations...
