Okay so after further inspection. They are .63 ar turbine housings. Trs wastegate actuators with carbon fiber brackets. Has anyone heard of cheap turbo companys using full carbon bracketry? They are gorgeous turbos in person

There's no brand name stamped on them or ID plate of any kind?? If not then I would assume China turbos

Do they look like they were balanced at all? You can tell by looking at the shaft nuts, they usually have spots grinded down/off. If not and you plan on using them, I would definitely get them balanced by a shop. Balancing a turbo, even a cheap one, is crucial to how long they last. Not being balanced from the factory is the main reason cheap turbos fail.

They do infact look like they are balanced and no shaft play. Do they look balanced to you?
