You need to upload the images first. You can do that for free on NICO here:

After that, you paste the URL of the image in between those [IMG] tags.

definitly looking like a t3 with a t4 compressor, normal hybrid turbo

that hole on the compressor housing is if you want to run a vaccum/boost source for your wastegate. you just need a fitting for it or you can put a bolt in there to block it off and run a vaccum/boost source from the intake maniold

Agreed.

See the ".63" stamped in the turbine housing? That's a turbine A/R, and T4 turbine's don't come in .63...

Should be a good turbo for the KA, assuming the compressor is a 50, 57, or 60 trim (to find out which, measure the minor and major diameters of the compressor wheel).

right, except you dont want to use that port as a vacuum source. boost only.

so i can use that port for the external wastegate or is it just for internal?Also how many psi should i run on this turbo.My setup so far is:sr injectors, safc II, fmic,xs power bov,SSAC mani, stock internals, my friend will make the IC pipes and the downpipe. Please do not tell me that that you will not run with SSAC since when i bought it i was not on the forum and i want to use it until it brakes if it last one month it will be ok. My first upgrade once the car is running will be the manifold. Thanks in advance

You can go internal or external, im selling a internal wastegate for that turbo for 50 bucks, its set at 7 psi and has an adjustable actuator aswell. Its from my old turbo, almost the same thing as the one in your pics. With your setup I would say 8 psi is a nice safe number.

That is a nice price, but the mani has the hole for the external WG, let me see if i can block it, if i do not have the money to buy the external i will send you an email. Thanks for the fast reply.

Hello, today i talk with my friend and i told him what you said about the turbo and he said that the turbo has T4 internals. Is that possible? if it is possible 8 psi will be a lot??Also where is the best place to run the bov

some precision turbos use a t4 turbine wheel in a t3 housing that is bored out, not too sure about your turbo
