sometimes, the builder will stamp a number in the casting...othe rwise, the only way is to measure the wheels and try to figure it out from wheel size

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Thanks for looking. I wasnt sure if it was a common aftermarket turbo. It came with my car and I was thinking of trying to get a few bucks for it. The comp wheel is dinged up and has in/out play but could be repaired. Im always trying to scratch up some GN money! Came in the trunk along with the stock turbo and stock exh headers. I will have to try and get some measurements from it.

Its 58mm. Same size as The turbo on my car but the exh side on Garrett looks smaller.

It looks like a TE-44.

I was going to say a 44 or 49 series turbo from the size of the inlet and outlet.
