identify this turbo!

was an upgrade on the turboII motor I got. any help is appreciated, if you know what it is do you also know what the common power levels are for it as well?
the marking are as follows:
there is a "T" on the polished portion of it so I assume a Turbonetics turbo?
65N
3
PD289
I-668

and here is a pic of it:

Got a better picture? If it has a stock hotside, it's some sort of hybrid. Some hybrids for comparison can be found here: http://bnrsupercars.com/

somewhere I do... I will find one. it has a "huge" exhaust housing. also has a 3.5" greddy DP, looks visually like 4" but didn't know if they made those... its BIG.

looks almost a large on the exhaust side.

put my GT2871R up next to it, and it mare the Garret look pretty small..

side shot. looks to be water cooled as well? has a circular logo, and the "T" I mentioned earlier... I suppose the size of the injectors on the car would give me a decent idea on that size range it is...

Its an s4 hybrid, looks to be a 60-1 compressor front.

Yep, it's a hybrid as I was guessing. If you remove the compressor housing and measure the diameter of the inducer & exducer (on the wheel), I can give you an idea of what it is and what power levels it's capable of.

Check here if you need info on the inducer/exducer: http://www.moddedmustangs.com/forums...ze-r-trim.html

The compressor housing and compressor wheel are larger than stock. The turbine side is likely completely stock, unless the wheel has been clipped or the wastegate ported. It's a more efficient, higher flowing version of a stock turbo.

oh ok, I will have to take more detailed pictures too then, also on the backside of the "coldside" it looks like the houseing is CNC? pretty slick peice really. I will have to do a trial fit this week in the car to see what will have to be butchered to make it all fit.... got to love a good session with an angle grinder....
