I can't really say for sure but it has a very distinctive turbine section so im sure someone will know the answer.

looks like a ford 2.3 turbo60 trim compressor wheel. Super 60 is a turbonetics upgrade I believe.Somewhere on the exhaust turbine casting should have .48 or .63 which would indicate the a/r. It may be stamped inside the turbine inlet.The .48 will give you quicker spooling.... nice turbo for a ca18 actually

Thanks everyone for the help, looks identical to one up on the ebay link, "thanks cuzan" . I must admit quite the ugly puke green. I can just strip the green **** off if it isnt anodized. But do you guys think this turbo is worth using on the CA? I was also looking at the t28's both s14 and s15. which would you guys go with t28? or lime green turbo? or if there are any other reccomendations please feel free to mention it.

ThanksWei

Using that turbo over the T20 anything is a major plus. It's so much more flexible and more efficient as well and can be upgraded at a moments notice. If your rear housing is stamped .48, you're in for a treat. Helluva find.........

He was over last night and he said there was nothing stamped on the other housing. =\ But if he doesn't use my RB20 will give it a nice home. :)
