Default Smallest turbo i have ever seen what is it?

I went to a small junkyard that was pretty crappy. The only turbo i could find to pull was on an old chrysler newyorker i think. It was very small looking so i did not bother..but what turbo is it and what turbo is that small. I swear i could have palmed that thing! There were several of these turbos and turbos at this junkyard are $35 so are these small ones worth getting even to resell?

If it says .42 on the compressor they are tb03. Small yes, but fine for a Dseries.
If it has no shaft play (in-out), $35 is a deal.

Well i might go back and see if it is in good shape. IF leed says they are not worthless then i believe him. Oh and is $35 a good enough deal to sell it back for at least that if i decide not to use it ..assuming there is no shaft play?

'shiny' ones can be resold on Ebay for at least $75.

I would take a 1st gen DSM turbo over it, but I've used the Chysler turbo b4 on a A6, and it spooled quick, and didnt seem to weeze out on the top end.

any clue what turbo is from a turbo sunbird? I found one but didnt take it. It looked like a garett flange, but I wasnt sure.
Should probably be alright for my big block F series eh?
