Default trying to find out more on this turbo

Ok, I been working on a turbo setup for about 3 years now... the turbo has been sitting (due to time and money)

I originally bought this being told it is a Garrett T3/T04B turbo 50 Trim with a .48 A/R turbine housing

The face of the compressor housing says "Garrett "M-24" "RC" "A/R .50"

The inlet is 3" and the outlet is 2" with ".50" stamped in it

Here are pictures of the turbine and compressor wheels:





The turbine housing does not use a standard T3 outlet flange, from what I was told its supposed to be one from a AMG / Mercedes with what looks like "M-3 PT-1" in the wastegate housing:

I was going to have an inturnal wastegate but the setup did not fit so it was converted to exturnal (with a Tial 38mm WG) with custom downpipe flange from http://www.42draftdesigns.com/

thanks in advance

I was talking about the compressor housing. I've never seen a .63 coldside. I thought it was T04B and T04E are .60 a/r with 3" inlets and then the T04S was a .70 a/r that came in either 3" or 4" compressor inlet. I'm not a turbo guru or anything, but from what I gather that's how it works. This one is a .50 a/r coldside with a 3" inlet. It's probably what the guy told you it was, but IDK about the T04B part. It looks like a V-trim compressor wheel to me too. You should just measure the wheels and you'll know for sure.

I had someone else on another forum say it looked like a v-trim wheel...

is this turbo going to ok at highway speeds and for daily driving?

any other honest thoughts or opinions?
