Google garrett T04e14 for info. Yours has a 1.32 hot side. Kind of small compressor with a large turbine, probably off a diesel or something

#3 no
#4 probably...since it wont reach hp goal then yes. You spent 280 too much. That is an oddball size and not much it would work on well

Sorry man there really isnt much else to say about that...It really is a odd turbo for a gas engine. What engine are you wanting to do this with and what size?

Just try to sell it, and go in a different route. Unless you have any other use for it.

Yeah a good steady use of a hammer will massage that area enough for it to fit or you can re-do the flange by tilting it towards the radiator to bring it away from the wheel well
