What kind of turbo?**PICS Inside**
 

I just bought a turbo from someone and was trying to figure out what type of turbo it is. I know it is a Garrett Airesearch and it has an internal wastegate on it. I know this may be a dumb question, but was just hoping maybe someone would be able to help. Thanks

Oh yea. This is what is on the plate of the turbo housing.

Sorry i don't have a digital camera anymore to take pics, but on the housing plate it says
Factory Overhauled Turbocharger
S/N VEM0005
P/N 466032-9002

feel free to through in some porn in gd, preferably rear pics of chicks with big booties :P 8) ;D

Let me get home and I will look on the compressor housing. It's gonna be hard for me to get to a digicam cause I don't have one anymore. I will look on the housing and get back to you guys. Thanks.

Re:What kind of turbo?
 

Alright looking at the housing and all I am seeing is...

BSAD A

12/86

That's all I am seeing. Don't know if I said this before, but is a Garrett Airesearch

Re:What kind of turbo?
 

how big is it? measure the compressor housing from top to bottom and the exhaust housing and post up the measurements.

Re:What kind of turbo?
 

It should have a marking like this and should have a 4 bolt inlet with a circular indent.....if I had my digi cam I'd take more picks of my .48 volvo housing but this is all I got.

Thats exactly what it is.

Re:What kind of turbo?**PICS Inside**
 

brace the manifold and wastegate mount if you don't want it to break.

Re:What kind of turbo?**PICS Inside**
 

no, dont do nay of that. cut the braces off of the mani that came with it. take a piece of stainless steel and bend it so that it mounts onto the stock ac bracket mounting point, then bend it so it sits right below the turbo mounting point. get a bolt, some washers, and loctite slide the bolt in and add washers to adjust the tensikont until the bracket supports the turbo. this wiil keep stress off of the mani and allow it to thermally expand and contract, which is something that the stock ssac braces dont allow it to do

I am sooo glad that I showed a pic of this before I put it on. I think I am just going to try and sell it and get an LS engine and then turbo that. Oh well for a turbo now. Thanks for the help guys. Still sucks though.
