If it fits on the stock turbo exhaust manifold, then it's a hybrid.

We can't figure out what exact compressor wheel is on it unless you pop off the compressor housing and measure the wheel.

Get major and minor diameters - dial calipers will help here.

ok, got it measured.

Intake side

Minor = 2 5/16 (2.301) (cm=5.715)

Major = 2 3/4 (2.75) (cm=6.985)

Turbine side

I only have the minor since the housing is still on.

Minor = 2 1/4 (2.25) (cm=5.715)

After looking on the link ted provided, looks like a "h" trim compressor. Who wants to confirm thats a lil more "turbo knowledgable"

Its a Hybrid s5 turbo with a T04B H-trim compressor wheel and a T04B comp housing in a .7 A/R value. Your turbine wheel has been clipped. Going by your rough measurements, its most likely a O-trim T4 turbine or T3 stage III. It has the curved vanes/paddles/impellers as opposed to the stocker (which has smaller exducer) flat "impact" type vane/paddles on the turbine wheel. Make sure the wastegate is HEAVILY ported or your gonna have issues with boost creep. This hybrid is probly good for 350 rwhp give or take 20 dependant on the other systems in the engine set up and tuning.

OOPSY!!

I forgot it has a 6 paired impeller and went strictly on your measurments. Are you sure the major diameter is 2.75"?? It looks to be a T04E, but your measurements I'm guessing were done with a ruler or something and not accurately done with a caliper or micrometer. The measurements need to be rather precise. I'd still say either a T04E 57 or 60 trim..... both wheels being better then the T04B H trim.
