Can you name this (Garrett) turbo?

I got this turbo for a good price, and it performs beautifully on my stock port reman. Havent been to the dyno yet, but Ive run a best time of 12.79 @114.56. Im just wondering the exact "name" of the turbo. 60-1? TO4S?

Ive tried looking up the part number on the Garrett website but it says its discontinued. Its a Garrett T4 frame (divided), 4 inch inlet, 2.5 inch outlet, 3.5 inch V-band turbine housing, standard thrust bearing, .70 A/R compressor housing, 1.00 A/R turbine housing, p/n 466290-9001.

Ive got a few pics (next to a S5 turbo for comparison)........enlighten me!!

Probably a 57 trim to4E. Has a P trim turbine wheel. Some oldschool To4Es came with funky compressor housings like that one off diesels.

I concure, although I'd venture to say a T04E 54 trim, looks a bit small. What is the part number and serial number say? Too hard to read in the pics.

Damn, you know your stuff! The guy who sold it said it came off a Brazilian diesel truck, but thats all he could tell me, no specific make or model.

I suppose the best way to identify a turbo is to remove the housings and measure the inducer and exducer diameters? Then I can also figure out the trim, correct?

The serial number is GFM74319, the part number is 466290-9001. Thanks for the info guys
