Today my neighbor gave me this Garrett turbo. I tried to research what it is but there are so many that I can't seem to nail it down. Someone who knows their Garrett's, please help! The specs are as follows:


Compressor
64.89mm inducer
94.01mm exducer
.60 a/r

T6 frame
Turbine
74.24mm exducer
82.01mm inducer
1.01 a/r

I'm gonna measure the compressor wheel again, looking at the pics I may have measured the wheel a bit off. But I doubt I was 5mm off. Anyone have any clues?

You can... You could even upgrade it to a GT4208 if you wanted to....

with a compressor upgrade to a billet 76 or the like... itd make a pretty decent turbo for a 5.3 or 4.8.....

Call Jose at Forced Inductions... he can help you decide what would be the best upgrade.

Thanks! I did go to a local shop called Superior turbo in Detroit, so an upgrade is in the works.
