Sorry I don't have any measurements...I believe compressor inlet is 3". Coldside A/R is .60, Hotside is a 1.15. I was thinking it was something like a T04B?

Did they ever have a BB option for the T04B?

^^What Low Impedance said.^^
Its a T04B something. To be certain you'd need to pop the front cover and turbine off and give ACCURATE measurements of both minor and major diameters.

NO. Not untill very very recently did Garrett start to offer ball bearing CHRA for the none GT series older t3/t4 frame turbos. And I doubt anyone would waste time/money on a old T04B series turbo making it full BB when the T04E is a newer more effcient and higher flowing wheel for the same price.

prjct87rx7,

Your oil feed and drain are set up completely wrong. It must be VERTICAL, not horizontal. The way your system is set up will burn the turbo out in minutes and smoke from the first start up like Cheech and Chong inside a 78 Dodge van. Run either a 3~4 AN supply line (NOTHING LARGER or you'll need a restrictor) and either a 10~12 (12 being better) drain line that MUST ALWAYS POINT DOWN into your front cover. It must be smooth with no kinks and NEVER go up hill. Its a gravity drain.

Do a search for drain lines in this forum.

yea thats kind of a temporary deal. my damned exaust side gets in the way from clocking the hot side of the turbo. i cant get to a few bolts. cause the housing is raised above the damned bolts. but yea i allready got the other fitting so if i can get it clocked ill be all good

and i allready have -3 an oil inlet with the flange that has the built in restrictor


damn i need to get this clocked
