look inside the compressor housing. if the inlet is flat it will be a 4wd compressor housing. if there is a sort of little restriction than it will be a 2wd t-3. or am I wrong.

Ah yes there is a little step just before the compressor wheel, the compressor housing does seem a little small compared to the exhaust housing?

Is this a common swap for cossies?

so there is a little step up. I guess you have a 2wd compressor housing.

but what do you mean a common swap

i was told it was a 4X4 T3 but i guess the whole thing is a 2wd turbo

oh well this will have to do, what kind of reliable boost can i get with a 2wd T3, with a -34 actuator?
thanks for the help by the way

Steve,

If exhaust housing in is fitted with 4 studs, it's 2 wd TC
If exhaust housing in is fitted without 4 studs, just 4 holes, it's 4 wd TC

Regards.

reliable boost...depends on the condition of the turbo. but you can boost 16psi- 18psi safely.
