Help ID this turbo please

I purchased this turbo from a friend who rolled his truck. He bought it new for his truck last year and then rolled the truck. He can't seem to give me any information on it . I tried contacting Turbonetics but they wont reply.....

I tried putting the numbers in the bar code sticker in google but nothing. I do know it has T4 flange (lol) Not very knowledgeable on turbos but researching and learning so all help is appreciated.

Looks like an 60 Series Turbocharger but won't know for sure without wheel specs.

Thanks for the replies I just forgot to reply. I have one more question. I contacted them and they said the numbers indicate its a 60 series with a 61mm compressor wheel and 65mm turbine wheel my question is, would that make this a 60-1 turbo? The sad part is, they are saying its journal bearing.

Are you being serious? I know there are better choices out there but this is what I have to get me started. :P

i was being partially serious. for the most part the turbos are large and underpowered, the turbine section is also going to be restrictive for any rotary engine. if it were me i would just sell it and buy something better suited(.96+ turbine) and more efficient.

Ok well the turbo I have is a 60-1 correct? Either way, will this turbo be alright for a temp if I can't sell it right away? I wouldn't mind getting a better turbo later but if this will work in the mean time, I might as well use it.
