Need help identifying this AiResearch turbo Just started looking at doing a budget turbo build on my chevelle and am trying to find out if this turbo I have will work for my application. Not looking at building something crazy just something for the street and looking in the 550-600 hp range. The engine that I want to do is an 6.0 lq4 but also have a vortec 454 with next to no miles on that I can use also.
So with that being said I am new to this turbo thing and would like to know if this turbo will work. My bud had this turbo sitting on the shelf in his diesel shop it seems pretty solid with no play in the shaft. I wasn't able to locate any compressor maps or info for this turbo on the net, any insight or info would be greatly appreciated.

Oh cool, you found a dinosaur!
If the inducer (small side of the compressor) is 63mm, with a T6 tubine of anykind, it will spool like an 80mm, an dmake dick for power. I doubt you would see more than 550whp on kill with that though an Auto.
