Re:Help me identify this flange!
If you look at that pic you can see the slot port coming from the WG. I have never/no need to remove that plate. I assume there would be a flapper behind it tho like every other internally gated turbo.

What kind of turbo is it? Definitely looks KKK, what does that green label say on it?

Re:Help me identify this flange!
Its an Air Research TAO307 42/48AR from a mid 80's Volkswagen LT35 Van equiped w/2.4L Turbo Diesel V6 (one of those weird *** tall vans that we didnt get in the United States). I have no idea how it found its way over to the US... this is the turbo I (luckily) got from Smokey_civic. It is NOT watercooled. Besides being kinda ugly, this thing spins freely and has *zero* shaft play.
The green label says "Volkswagen" and has a couple internal p/n's which is how i determined where it came from originally.
