exh housing says .48, i'm assuming this is a .42/.48, i can't even find a size on the compressor wheel itself. if anyone has a compressor picture send that ---- my way

Looks like a 42/48 Saab unit.

haha, yeah, it's off of a saab. (you sure about the .42?) anyone know what's the bar/psi on the wastegate? or how i can adapt this turbo to use something where i can replace the wg spring as needed?

Re: so i picked a snail today (pics inside)
 

Saab turbo. You can't change the wastegate spring without cutting it open, but you can use an MBC just fine.

Re: so i picked a snail today (pics inside)
 

does anyone know what the stock spring rate is ??? ??? i need to know

Re: so i picked a snail today (pics inside)
 

It's not in our stock wg setting database, I would take a guess and say around 7 psi though. But maybe that's just the beer talking.

Thats not important, just take it off and call it good.

Re: so i picked a snail today (pics inside)
 

speaking of beer, i found around 23 cans worth in a car beside the saab i got the turbo from. pabst blue ribbon :8 :8 :8 :8 :8 :8

Re: so i picked a snail today (pics inside)
 

My Saab turbo's internal only was good for about 5-6 lbs. I used an MBC to make it a more respectable 11.

this is going on my toyota, it should be a good start. i can always adjust the pre-load on the wg flapper, it's kinda like a turnbuckle for adjustment
