ID this turbo?
A buddy of mine is selling this, and I was thinking about grabbing it for a 5.3/Mustang build.
Its a T6 based 76, BW unit, other than that, I am not sure. I have a feeling its a non standard exhaust housing?
There is no a/r stamped into the housing, which I find to be a little odd...its a 5" exhaust outlet.

That looks like those surplus military turbos.
Basically a reverse rotation s400.
HT3...?.BHT3...? something like that.
I'll see if I can find that old thread.
I think they were selling in a lot of 4, and going for like 900 for all 4.

I was reading this going, no, he's not right...then you said 'BHT3'....the turbo is in a nice box, from a company called turbodriven.com, and part of the label thats stuck on it is ripped of, but you can clearly see a BH on there...
bummer.
Whats up with the reverse rotation? Are they worth a damn power wise?

Here is the old thread on YB

Warning long thread...
Here is a specific post on the specs

Seem to be fine for 600-650 HP, but originally used in a compound setup.

Turbodriven is Borg Warner.
That unit is an HT3B unit. 74mm reverse rotation. The turbine housing will be in CM^2 as they are replacement for Holset's reverse rotation units.
