hey guys.i recently bought a turbo in hopes for my new ka-t.i have a small t28 from a RBdett and i just got another one.. its pretty big.

it has garrett compressor .50ar, and a turbonetics turbine, which i have no clue about the size.i was wondering if you guys could tell me?

there are no markings on the ex. side for me to tell what size it might be, but it is pretty big.(also no garrett tag.. removed?)

here are the pics:

roughly 20 lbs give or take 5..

That turbo looks like it was set up for a Syclone or Typhoon... The elbow welded to the inlet and the way the turbo is clocked... The only thing that makes me think differently is the first picture... The adaptor pipe would not bolt up to factory SyTy exhaust manifolds or any of the aftermarket headers for them.....

Its an E cover for sure... I will have to check the measurment but it appears to be a T3 hot side... Pull the turbine housing and compressor cover and measure the big end and small end of each wheel.. also count the fins... with that info, give Turbonetics a call and they will be able to give you the dirty on your tubo...

I thought Typhoons had Mitsu turbos.
