I was thinking of using it as i have it, then replace it with a larger one thats better suited as next winters project. Just need to figure out how harge to go to optimize efficiancy.

dude its a 48mm turbo...i would be shocked to see it make 300

compressor seems a wee bit small to me for twin charged

i jsut looked at the exhaust housing again...it looks like a t4 on center housing??? if thats indeed what it is sure build your setup around it. when i first saw it i thought it was a t3 turbine

yeah i know nothing bout this turbo other than the info i posted. If there are gaines to be felt, thin i'll use it for the summer if not then it's no point in mounting it.

measure the bolt spacing on the inlet of the turbine horizontal and vertical. though i dont know if they made that style discharge flange in anything but t4

DarkHorizon can you find a compressor map for this thing?

Your talking about on the scroll part that bolts the inlet to the backink plate behind the turbine right?

the square part where the exhaust gas goes into the turbine.

that is a t4 in center turbine housing which means it will bolt up to a cartuning crossover and downpipe fyi. lets see what we know so far.

Compressor:
48mm, 47 trim t04e cover .60a/r

Turbine:
50 trim t4 on center in .58a/r


this is the closest compressor map i can find for that compressor.

Finally got around to the rebuild and so far i'm gonna need a replacement turbine shaft as the threaded end snapped off. That and some of the parts in the t3/t4 rebuild kit are different. Not sire if its worth the cost of rebuilding the unknown vs the cost of an ebay turbo.
The thrust collar is alot different as well as on my compressor backing plate

And on the backing plate theres a seal and a brass bushing with this sleave in it that is where i am getting play. Those pieces are not in the kit
