Good deal? Two new but old Schwitzer turbos.
$144 for 2 new turbos.... Identical except for name plates, one which says "DEUTZ".
The seller said rebuilt, but upon teardown, there is NO exhaust residue anywhere, much less oil, I really can't believe they were ever used.
Inducer is 2"/3"
Exducer is 2.5"/2.85"
Basic research shows they are probably diesel turbos.

Re: Good deal? Two new but old Schwitzer turbos.
And are these "twin scroll" cause of the divided exhuast entry? And I am guessing (very well could be wrong) T4 exhaust housings? What exhaust crap bolts up to those 4 bolt patterns? Any way to get an internal wastegate with that? Or do I have to go external?

Re: Good deal? Two new but old Schwitzer turbos.
Looks like a divided T3 flange to me. ---- man, buy em up. It's $150 and you can definitely find something to use them for. I mean they're oddball feed/return flanges and exhaust outlet flange, but that should be alright. Only issue is the big turbine wheel, but you may be able to make a hybrid out of a smaller turbine wheel or just take the housings off, bead blast them, and sell them for $150/each. I can't see you losing out on buying a pair of new turbos for $150.
