Just for educational purposes, does the size of the turbo suggest it was used for a diesel

yeah kinda, no wastage, v band clamp connection, huge turbine housing, and it looks like it would come from an 600+cubic inch motor.... something that would be putting well over 1000ftlbs of torque anyway.

I have almost no real knowledge of turbos, just looks like some units I have seen on tractors ect....

Word... I was always into the bigg'ns... I'm thinking the guts aren't Turbonetics, due to the ribbed backing of the cool-side... I'm under the impression that Turbonetics always had anodized casings... Any knowledge of rebuild kits for these?

It's enroute, so I'll get the gist of how large it is when I get hands on it... Interested to see how it will work on the 1200cc bandit... Are there aftermarket integral wastegates for these older turbonetics snails?

if so, that turbo is way to big. a good turbo to use is a k03 turbo out of an audi/vw 1.8t. they sell them on ebay new for ~400.00

ive used them on numerous turbo bike builds.
