Alright so I bought this turbo in a used kit off a guy on the org and can't find any info on this turbo. Hopefully you guys will know a little better than me. on the inside of the exhaust flange it is labelled "48". here are some pictures:

i'd like to find some stats on it including map. the blue powdercoat on the inside of the cold side is something i havnt seen much. i thought i found it once and it was made by innovative or something. i can't find anything now though...

Just out of curiosity, where did you see the a/r for the hot side? I scoured all the pics and didn't see anywhere the a/r imprinted on the hot side.

I meant to say just for the exhaust side, the compressor side is obvious, lol.

Remove the housings and measure the fans (inducer and exducer) or try to find a serial or model number on the CHRA.

it will be my first time disassembling a turbo. will i need gaskets and such when i put it back together? I'll do some searching on rebuild in the meantime. there doesn't seem to be shaft play so i doubt i would do a rebuild, i was just curious on how much air this thing'll push

I'd bet that's anodized, not powdercoated

**When I was cross-referencing the numbers on the hot side I kept finding it as a turbonetics part #....but that turbonetics part # is for an .82 t3 housing not the .48 listed inside it...

So I have no clue if it would be the .82 a/r or .48
