Something Garrett, and from a truck. Looks like a T4 turbine inlet flange.
I trust if that's going on anything smaller than a T6 motor that it's going to rev way north of 6k, or you're not going to have much powerband
Just bought the turbo for the 360 - Garrett (Cossie) T3 with a .63 A/R exhaust housing. The cold side is a bit smaller than is ideal (.42 A/R), but I think it'll be fine. I can always bolt a bigger housing on.

Well that is only a 'mini' CD, so it's not
that huge
Is this for the 1.7? The T2 is a bit small for 'performance' usage (IMO), but a T3 would be plenty large enough.
cheers

Glad the mini CD had some of you confused
It was intended to go on the 244 turbo. It is a tad big so perhaps a supercharger will be needed for the low end of things
We need to get the MS wired in and working before going any further.
