T3 and T3/T4 are general classifications for "families" of turbochargers. There are about a bazillion different ways to put together a turbo and still call it a T3.
I heard the Greddy kit does not produce much hp compared to other turbo setups; is this true? If so is it b'cuz of the piggyback ecu that comes with the Greddy kit?
The GReddy kit has no intercooler and is designed to be an all-in-one solution complete with fuel upgrades and such--it's tuned pretty conservatively to keep people from blowing up their motors and complaining to GReddy. With the addition of an intercooler and some way of actually
tuning your fuel ratios you can extract more power from the kit.
Also, can I run safely at 8psi w/o an intercooler?
That depends on what you do to make sure there's enough fuel getting to the motor to go with all that extra air. It's definitely doable but you'll need to be more specific.
