Default gt4788 turbo?

Hey guys, I was offered a used gt4788 turbo in a trade. It is a garret with supposedly 1000 miles. It has no paperwork. I'm selling my ls1 and t56 for $2000 and he's offering the turbo plus 800 cash.

This will be going on a 6.0 or maybe 5.3 in my firehawk. I'm still learning about turbos. I just to make sure the turbo is worth the trade. Thanks guys.

Unless you have more pictures, then most of us cannot make an educated guess.

Its not. A picture showing the blade count and style of the compressor and turbine will tell you if the wheels are atleast GT based. Because that compressor cover is not
