ok guys, done lots of research and cant find what i need. does anyone on here happen to have any pictures of the stock turbo for a 83 280 zx? the compressor inlet piping is missing off mine, and some bozo butchered the turbine outlet wastegate housing. i believe i have the stock downpipe, (exhaust pipe looks factory with hangers). it has 4 mounting bolts. but the wastgate housing on my turbo has 5, so they welded a plate across the outlet to adapt it. just not sure if i have the t-3 or the t-28 turbo. any help would be greatly appreciated.

the compressor inlet piping it just a piece of rubber hose that leads fomr the afm to the turbo and has bungs for the pcv

the turbo is a T 3, the outlet bolt pattern is unique to the S130, it has 5 bolts that hold the wastegate on, and tha wasetgate housing has 4 bolts for the stock downpipe, the stock exhaust pipes has heatshields on it and attaches to the bottom of the downpipe with a 3 bolt flange, any of this help?

well it would help if i had the stock t-3. but after more research i have found out that it is not the stock turbo. someone has replaced it with a rch6. so my only option now is to try to reinstall it, and fabricate a compressor inlet adaptor, at least until i can source a t-3. oh well i have lots of other things to work on till then.
