Are these 280ps turbos?

Are these the 280ps spec turbos? they seem to have the abradable seal but have 6 sets of blades on the compressor opposed to 5 shown in the 3rd picture which are proper 280ps turbos.

they apparently came of the RS model which was 280ps

Looking at the last picture, yes. The efini turbos had the black abraidable seal like shown in the last picture.

Tim
FYI. Mazda Japan sold the car as an "Efini RX-7" from 92-98. For the 99-02 version it was sold as a "Mazda RX-7".

So there is/was no relationship between the 280PS turbo's & the "Efini" name tag..........
