Who knows which turbo this is?



I have no idea what turbo this is. It came on a Jspec 13bt, and it seems to be completely stock except the compressor housing and wheel.

Anyone know who makes it?

Is the exhaust housing redrilled for the stock manifold? If not then it is an upgraded stock s5 turbo.

Do you know any specs for this? Or where we can find out?

The turbine housing looks exactly in every way like the stock one, but the compressor housing is much bigger than the stock one.

Take off the compressor housing and measure the wheel.

Looks like a To4B crammed into a stock turbine housing. Its got a to4 turbine wheel too I think. The shaft and nut look big.

It is a stock catridge and turbine.
Just the compressor is different.

Ya everything written on the compressors seems to be on a thousand compressors...

Keep in mind that it came with a jspec, I know most **** that shows up on them is usually pretty routine...

Ill try and get some measurements on it today.

Definately a stock s5 / hybrid. Can't tell from the pic, but it looks like 6 paired inducer blades which means its probly a T04E wheel. It has a T04B compresor housing. Only way to know for sure is to measure the compressor wheel inducer and exducer diameters. You are positive the turbine wheel is stock?? As 1Revvin7 pointed out, the compressor nut looks a bit large.
