I bought this turbo from a friend who bought it from his coworker who custom ordered this 5 years ago from Garrett. Im curious as to what this turbo is. Scroll down please.

Ok, first of all, A/R .80 M24 is Garrett T25. But wait, look at the intake and cold pipe, it doesnt use flange.

Does that look like a T25/T28 housing to you? Looks like it.

But it's not. See how it overlaps this elbow? All the bolts line up though.

What about the compressor wheel on my turbo? It has an aggressive profile, doesnt look like any T25/T28/GT wheel I've seen.

It's water and oil cooled. I dont have pics of the center section. So, what is this frankenstein bastard turbo I have?

Answer a good candidate to sell on ebay j/k

i do think it is wierd how it has no "adapter" fpr the intake. as for the flange not fitting are you sure that downpipe is a correct one for a t25 (im not sure if the flange of a t25 and a t3 ford style 5 bolt are exactly the same.

either way i would say sell it and get a bugger one b/c your ka will choke the **** out of a t25

the last picture with the turbo in the box looks like a sr20 T25, and the looks of the first turbo you sent looks like (dont qoute me) like a CA18 T25, i doubt it is considering that it doesnt match up with the flange of the dump pipe.
