Recently purchased a turbo and was told it's a t38, it's built by cr turbos as it's stamped on there, but it has a .48 exhaust housing. Is it possible to have a t38 with this housing or not?

Yes its possible,but the back pressure will be massive unless you run something like 10psi

HaggisTurbo

Wow I didnt even think that was possible, thing would shit itself at a bar of boost surely with all that pressure

pretty sure its a t34.48 with a t04b compressor wheel. a mate has one on his 3dr doing 420 bhp

It's a strange one! Just hope I ain't been ripped off, I'm only aiming for 400hp on this engine, it's in my Capri, maybe it's best to send it to cr to have them check it? It just looks like a t34 at first glance.

frsjon

well i am buying the turbo i mentioned off my mate to go on my zetec turbo... his made 420 on the dyno but the .48 was holding it back... he's now going gt30 . i was surprised when i asked him the other day as i thought it would have a .63

frsjon

the one im having is from CR turbos as well ..give them a call if your concerned

scroll down through the turbo's oppliger motorsport have for sale... three different types of t38...CR turbo's one there...

Cool, hopefully it's the same one as your getting then. Any chance u can put some pics up of it when u get it to see if mines the same please? Yeah think il call cr too, can't find any numbers on the turbo is the only thing.

Thanks for that, it looks exactly like the cr one listed there, but can't see the housing markings, looks the same as that one tho.

frsjon

cool,yeah as you say it looks just like a t34 but im led to believe the compressor wheel is bigger
