The T3 series is very old and isn't made by garrett anymore. Many other turbo makers make T3 based turbos and they come in a massive array of sizes.

The T25 series aren't currently in production either, but they are everywhere used in various conditions and directly interchange with some of the current Garrett GT series.

There are chinese copies of everything. If you're being sold a garrett, then make sure it is a garrett.

That turbo he's got appears to be a GT25 used on a 2.8 diesel chevy S10 sold in Brazil. It should work fine, but personally I'd be going smaller for more low end boost.
