Default Bought this Turbo, Don't think it's a T61...

Last week, my search for a turbo took a serious step when I purchased this turbo: Ebay Link.

Upon researching the compressor housing and turbine housing, I've come to the decision this is a T60-1 and not a T61 as advertised. Here are a few detailed pics I based my decision upon:

Whole Turbo:


Compressor Housing:


Turbine Housing0.58 AR with Turbonetics Stamp)


Height Comparison16.9 OZ Water Bottle)


Width Comparison16.9 OZ Water Bottle)


If any of you can shed some light on this I would appreciate it. Also, does anyone have any information on the difference between the T61 and the T60-1?

Finally, if this turbo is a T60-1, I plan on either re-selling it or trading it for a Holset HX40. Does anyone have any literature on the HX40 including compressor maps and goodies of this sort? I tried contacting Holset, but they claimed their maps were confidential...

Thanks in advance.

only way your going to tell is to remove the compressor housing and measure the wheel.

Not sure sorry, but I'm having trouble finding a reputable (sp?) website to look up higher end turbos. What site did you use?

Your link doesn't work for me, acts very weird and sends me to a strange site.

How much did you pay for it?

Thanks for the heads up, I'll take a look this evening when I get off work.

I pretty much spent an hour on Google using various search strings related to the turbo (compressor housing numbers, turbine housing numbers).

I fixed the actual link to the auction listing. I paid $400 for the turbo.
