Switching turbo turbine

Here is my turboSpecs:
T70 Wet Floating Bearings Turbocharger!!
Compressor Specs:
4" Compressor Inlet
2.077" or 52.77mm Inducer
3.000" or 76.20mm Major
2.5" Compressor Outlet
Compressor .70 A.R.
Compressor 75 Trim
6 Blade Propeller Type
M14 Compressor Housing
Turbine Specs:
T4 Type Turbine
T3 4 Bolt Flange
58.18mm Exducer
Turbine .84 A.R.
Turbine 60 Trim
2.900" or 73.66mm Major
T3 Twin Entry Turbine Housing

I want to know the effects of switching the Turbine to a smaller one -
an .63 A.R. as I have one. Faster or Slower spooling? More or less power in Low or higher rpm range? Will it lower or raise my air flow volume?

IMO im sure someone with more knowledge will come along sooner, im not sure if you saw it, but the stickies up top i think have a great start up page of compressor sizes and what not.?>

I hope there is a matching turbo (as in twins) as this turbo is WAY to small for even a stock LS1.

oh ****, i didnt even see that its a t3/t4, you should really have atleast a t4 all the way for this project, that t3 hotside is for little motors with less exhaust, hence why the eclipse guys use them on a t4 compressor, so they can move big air with small motor.
