Default List of turbos: collecting info regarind usefulness and applications

I am soon getting my hands on the following turbos, some of which I will use for DIY projects (2.5 liter V6, 3.8l V6, 4.0l V6, 8.0l V8; others?), others will be sold (to with the cost of the DIY).

I would like get the input of the forum to the "usefulness" and application range for the different turbos:

- 2 small Schwitzers- 45 x 50 - new
- 2 small KKK K26- 45 x 55 - look very good- but one doesnt turn easily- dont think its damaged maybe just needs cleaning.
- 3 medium KKK K27- 52 x 65 - all in good shape, 1 has couple of dings, 2 others good.
- 1 medium KKK K27 - 52 x 65 - pulse type - looks good
- 1 big Airesearch- 58 x 65 - pulse type -looks good
- 1 big Schwitzer with wastegate - 60 x 67 - pulse type - looks ok. Has a wastegate but no actuator.
- 1 Wastegate- poppet valve- spring loaded -in/out flange connection. Dont know for which size turbo it is intended.
- 2 Schwitzer exhaust turbine housings - pulse type - with wastegates without actuators (no shaft or compressor). They have a 50mm exh diameter- maybe- just maybe they can be swapped onto the 2 small Schwitzer units?
- 2 pneumatic Actuators - I believe hooks up to compressor air to open wastegate (why are there 2 air connections...?). Maybe intended for the 2 Schwitzer exhaust turbine housings with integrated wastegates, or possibly could be adapted for the big schwitzer with integrated wastegate.

Looks like a list of oddball turbos to me. I'd say those numbers are either the a/r of the housings or the mm of the wheels or inlets/outlets.

Those are some gay turbos though. Kinda like that redheaded stepchild..... haha.

the numbers are my crude way of describing the inlet/outlet size.

Any of those "useable", i.e. infomation readily available, possibly rebuild kits?

Engines I have in mind to use for:
1994 GM 3.8 liter V6
1999 Mercury Cougar 2.5 liter V6
1995 Ford 7.5 Liter V8 E350
2007 Chrysler 4.0 Liter V6 (Pacifica)

Default Bunch of Turbos - photos

I uploaded photos of the turbos below. Hope it worked. Not sure how forum members find them, but trust you guys figure it out.

Let me know if there is anything useful, for my purpose (see projects below) or your needs (make offers).

Projects:
1994 GM 3.8 liter V6
1995 Ford 7.5 liter V8 E350
1999 Mercury Cougar 2.5 liter V6
2007 Chrysler 4.0 liter V6 (Pacifica)

Consider rear mounting the turbos (or conventional under the hood if plumbing is not too complicated)
