How can I identify a turbo?
I feel like an idiot but I need to know how I can identify what kind of turbo is on this car...
It's a Garrett turbocharger and it says .70 A/R on the compressor side. Where else do I look to find out what everything is? I've had some people take a quick "at a glance" look at it and say it's a GT35R and some say it's a 60-1. And they say that the .70 A/R on the compressor side means the hotside is .70 A/R. I'm trying to find out what it is and what size the hotside is as well as what type of flange it has because if it is a GT35R I'd like to go up to a T04Z with a 1.00 A/R hotside and I need to know if I need a new manifold to do so...

Heres a link that shows the dimensions of a few flanges. You can measure and compare. But they make the gt35 in both a t3 and t4 flange, so that probably wont help you..

.70 A/R on the compressor could be a lot of things. If it is coupled with an undivided .96 A/R on the hotside it is highly likely that it is a 60-1 . T4 GT35R is usually a divided .82 or 1.0, or larger sometimes. It is highly unlikely that the hotside is .70 A/R as well as the compressor side.

Check to see if you have a plack on the cool side like in the pic; mine says 740759-5002 which means its a t04z. Sorry the pics not the best but hopeful you get the idea.

No I would have to borrow a friends camera and remove stuff from the car just to get a pic of it. I have a tool shortage so I can't really do much work to the car myself. I need to remove a metal heat shield that is intricately attached to the turbo in ways that my crappy tools can't remove. I just ran into a problem involving some possibly clogged injectors so I'm just going to have bigger ones put in and while Gotham works on that and a water/meth kit I'll have them ID the turbo.
