can someone tell me what turbo this is please?
again this came on my zetec turbo package and looks way too big for my target figure of 300 bhp
can anyone tell me what it may be
air in 100mm
exhaust 75mm 4 bolt pattern
intercooler side 68mm
looks as new and as far as im aware was only run for 20 minutes.
finally whats it worth as i will be selling it on

You could buy probably 100 turbos with a 100mm inlet. That doesnt mean shit.
The actual sizes of compressor and turbine wheel matter. You will need to remove the turbine housing and compressor cover to get full dimensions, or a guess can be made measuring just inducer and exducer.
Precision turbos will have an ID tag and usually Precision cast into the compressor cover. That unit appears to have neither, so could be a chinese unit.
You dont mention whether it's an oil journal or BB, it will be very obvious when you spin the blade.

Shame it does not have any markings on it to help identify who manufactured it.
As previously said precision usually have their name on the compressor housing.
Most likely some sort of copy. I,m going to have a punt and say mamba turbo as that's the only other name I know and it's not a Garrett, Borg, holset, turbo technics or precision.

Chinese turbos don't necessarily look badly made, but its whats inside and what materials its made from that's what counts. The fact it has nothing on it to identify point to it being a cheap copy in my opinion. Like Stevie said... Measure both of the wheels and get inducer and exducer diameters (small and big end of wheel), you'll need to pop off the comp and ex housings but its the only way to get the spec but tbh if its a cheap copy then they're only about £150 new on ebay!

Hope you have found out what sort of turbo you have. I have had various turbos and they have all had letters/numbers in the castings and quite often a small metal tag as well identifying who made them so the one you have is a bit of a mystery.
