What kind of turbo is this????

[zerepdivad]

ok here's the deal i bought this brand new unused turbo from a friend who's brother in law left it at his house sitting for a few months. I saw it and asked if he'd sell it since his brother in law had most likely forgotten about it*he smokes crack...no joke* and he said how much i said $15 and he said sure so i got myself a turbo charger. all i really know about it is that his brother in law was going to put it in an eagle talon no clue what year or anything though..

No clue but for 15$ you can't really complain I think your friend will more then likely show up at your house w/ fifteen dollars saying my bro in law wants it back or he's going to kick my ***

wheres a crackhead with a turbo when you need one?

Looks like an aftermarket IHI (maybe RHB5) turbine housing. I say aftermarket due to the lack of internal wastegate. The compressor housing looks like a T3 or maybe a T04E?

i would also say its a RHB5, very small turbo came on the mazda 323's and 626's. either way it was small for a 1.6 litre engine. so on a 2.0 or a 2.4 :twitch.

thanks for the input everyone. I just saw it and saw it was brand new and offered $15 dollars and figured there's no going wrong here. I thank you guys for the replies and am wondering if anyone is completely positive on it i was thinking of starting up a ka-t project now that i've picked this up for real cheap. *ok wow this shows how good my seeing skills are it does say IHI on it i was thinking for some damn reason it was saying II-II *

No way that the three bolt flange and mitsu looking turbo flange make it a Volvo T3 is there?

[zerepdivad]

hmm so now i know what it is what's your guys' opinions on what i should do with it? should i keep it and start a ka-t project or ebay this ***** or put in classified and look for something else. i mean it is brand new and everything it'd be nice to have a brand new one as opposed to a used one where you don't know the mileage on it. idk what do you guys think????????

ebat it to some dsm guys and use the proceeds to get a better sized turbo.

+1, and HA! It will be hard to locate the right flange for your manifold, it looks like a mitsu flange, but still may be hard to find. So you may end up getting them made if you keep it. Then you won't know much about your turbo, like where to get a rebuild kit or compressor map. I would say, avoid it like the plague, and get something you know.
