Default bought a turbo today

bought my first turbo today the guy at the junkyard said it came of a grand-am (didnt know they were ever boosted) its a garret the charge side a/r is .48 and i dont see the a/r on the exhaust side anywhere so wondering if anyone could help me out on what size the exhaust a/r is...it says garret M24 on the charge side and 38369 if that means anything ..looks like a t2 flange here's the best part it has a rebuild tag on it no shaft play spins freely came with d/p elbow 02 sensor oil lines water lines and the stock manifold that just says GM i got it for 60 ------- DOLLARS .. i think i got a bomb as deal ... p.s. brother thinks it might possibly be off a sunbird... will take some pics tomorrow

Look carefully on the exhaust housing, there should be a number there. Might just need a cleaning to see but my guess is that its a .48.
