The difference between the two is simply the turbine. On the 3.0L I strongly suggest the T3/T04E hybrid over the straight T04.
There isn't an advantage of going with the T04 unless you plan on running 12+ psi on this engine. The T3/T04E can be built to easily handle 20 psi if that ever happens. The hybrid combination is much more versatile for this application also.
My suggestion - T3/T04E .48 Stg II/.50 compressor - good for 8-10 psi efficiently. Anything higher you'll want a Stg V and .55 or slightly larger.
Good luck,

there are advantages to using a t04 , if setup properly 10psi t3/t4 vs 10psi the straight t04 should see somewhat higher #'s on a dyno, but also coming in much later. (assuming similar spec'd turbos and same pipe design)
the suggestion you give, needs to be prefixed with why... imo that is too small even if you want a very fast spooling fun turbo on the vq30.. i would go more for a .63 stage III or V paired to a T04 H-3 trim. seems to be a good combo, spools early and has good topend... a t3 stage III is an incredible turbo too... spools around 3000-3200rpm and is verry strong.
feel free to email me if i can help with anything, i will be out for a few days though.. prob. till the weekend? (22nd?) i'll get back to ya
