Well i posted quite some time ago when i got my setup done. now i have a question, i woudl like to knwo if anyone knows what my turbo actually is. here are my pics all i really kwno is its a air research.
at the time i didnt really care the price was right so i bought it up.

 

Take off the damn housing and measure the wheels... Though it looks like a 42/48 from an older saab converted to an ext wg setup.

 

Yep, i eye ball this as a 45 trim T3 .48/.42.
The comp wheel should be 40 mm x 60 mm.
at 8-10 psi it's good for barely 200 HP.
Not quite enough to make you the king of the road if you know what i mean.


it has a good turbine side though. standard Stage 1 t3. slight porting in the turbine snail, slap a 60 trim comp side on this and 260-280 HP is possible.

 

awsome that all i really needed to know, i knew it wasnt anything special,

So this turbo can be beefed up?, where do i find parts for that now, is there write ups?

 

i think "HMT" is mostly about installing a turbo all by yourself at home using easily found local parts. As far as the turbo itself is concerned, more than just a "write up" is unfortunately needed to properly rebuild or modify one with reliable results. Do you have a turbo or diesel shop locally? They might be able to help you upgrade your turbo. You probably can purchase a used T4 turbo from which you can salvage a good compressor side.
Here's some that i found on ebay ...

item 230116276654. 320103213554, 220101628706...

 

awsome thanks alont man i'll have to do some research i'll figure something out!
