turbo identification and a few questions..chingchong meow or turbonetics?
ok well i got the blown turbo for almost dirt cheap...he was going to use it on his fully built ls/vTAKK but he wanted bigger so he never rebuilt it..he bought it and kinda just threw it to the side..its smaller t3/t4 im not sure of the size..the AR housing say M12 im pretty sure its a .48/.57 trim. is it good enough to make 400hp or over on a built sohc?.i was going to rebild it but not sure if it will be worth it..it has a turbonetic..s hot side it even has the little badge..but the cold side only says m12 kinda plain looking like a ching chong meow turbo..but then again the housing has been grounded down if you look close you can see where they ground it down...also the shaft is a little rough how could i clean it up a little bit? and on the rebild should i buy a new center section?..is it big or small shaft?.. any good references to turbo rebuilt kits? thanks for the help this will get me 1 step to getting boosted again

well the guy who origianlly had it didnt buy crapp stuff..but he was a hardcore ricer...he bought the turbo and blew it up but i think his ricer actions made him grind down the rest of the housing...but then again who knows it might be a turbonectics/ching ching meow hybrid...i checked the number on the turbonetice housing and its a .48 and the compressor side is a .57 ...should i just rebuild it?

actually i was on turbo netics.com..and noticed you can buy compressor housings ,shafts and turbine wheels seperate...would it be better i i bought a newcenter section...rebuild kit and new shaft compressor housing and turbine wheels....i mean this is all i got and cant really afford to buy a brand new t3/t4....but slowly im building a motor to push around 400hp...is it even achieveable with this turbo?

No, it's a straight slanty eyed turbo. They started casting the Turbonetics "T" in the turbine housing. Also the compressor housing is definitely chinese, look at the finish of the aluminum.

i hope you got that for free or damn close....looks like a straight t3 turbo and with those numbers you wont be hitting 400hp more like 2-250 then it will be out of its efficiency range and die out
