Help me figure out this turbo.
 
So i bought a turbo from a friend that was in a financial crisis. It came from PR and had all its stamps removed but 1 on the center housing.
I don't know much about how to figure out what they are so i posted this pics to see what you guys think. Its a big guy and seems to be a badass turbo too.
I was told it was in a 20b repu truck that only ran once or so w.e.. I was gonna get the specs from guy but never got them. LMK what you guys really think its worth or what it really is.

the most educated thing i can say, and you probably know is: it has a divided exhaust housing. that is the extent of my turbo ID ability.

If it doesn't have a coolant line, its probably journal bearing (not bb). I know that applies for garrett.

Thats about the most i can feel comfortable saying, and its not that useful. :-P it looks in good shape tho

Looks like a large frame Borg Warner. Look up the measurements online and figure it out.

yeah, with the 1-piece cast iron backplate, I'd guess it's an BW S475

definantly a s475 as said, i look at that same turbo multiple times everyday... sitting in my livingroom haha.....
anyways, it looks like it has a wiggens clamp flange welded on..
just out of curiosity, how much did you pay for the turbo?
