T34 hybrid turbo identification
Hey Ford fans,
I've got what is reported to be a TurboTechnics rebuilt T34 hybrid turbo sitting here, and I wondered if those in the know might be able to help identify what car it was originally from (and if you recognise the type of turbo/application from my photos)? It's the smaller .48 A/R by the looks of it. I'll post photos below, but hopefully you can see enough from the pics to guide me. It would be useful to get it checked over and seek the opinions of the experts (you) before I install it.
Here are the pics. If you recognise the turbo / know the source vehicle, then please do holler! Thanks.

p.s. by 'source vehicle' I don't mean 'Dave's Sierra', I mean the model that the turbo is most likely to have been attached to (the three bolt flange might give it away?!).

I was told that it was a rebuilt T34 (work carried out by Turbo Technics), but in a T3 housing. Do you need any more pics / anything in particular to identify the part by its exterior? Thanks in advance.

Aha! I found the original sales gumpf! Apparently, it's a T3 that was sent to Turbo Technics whereupon it received a bigger compressor wheel, staggered seals and a 360 degree thrust bearing. "Power of the T34, but spools a lot faster". It hasn't been used since rebuild apparently, just boxed up.

Mystery solved! Pete at Turbo Technics has been able to identify the turbo:
"Hi Dan, We have identified the turbo. It was made for Racing Technologies
Norfolk approx 2000 - 2001 ish. This company is now Palmer Sport and
these are their race units from back in the day. These had T35
compressor wheels with 360 thrust and 0.48 a/r turbine housings for
faster response. Quite a punchy little turbo to be fair. Between 340-380
bhp 1.6 bar max boost."
"Racing Technologies Norfolk" explains the confusing serial number
Hoorah! Thanks for your assistance, guys.
