My Turn--So Close Yet So Far Away! Well I've seen a few different Phamspeed kits finally coming alive so I thought I would post up mine. Of course it's the "budget" kit with ceramic coated Edlebrock shorties. The turbo is a Garrett compressor housing and a AiResearch turbine housing. I'm not sure as to the size of the turbo but it's been checked and gone through and given a 
I don't have a set of calipers so I just eyeballed it with a tape measure that had milimeters on it and the compressor wheel looks to be a 75mm inducer and a 100mm exducer. The turbine side I couldn't get off and didn't want to force it but the exducer seems to be right around 87mm. It's on a T-6 flange with a 5" outlet and has a 5" inlet on the compressor and 3.5" outlet. They said it was about a 1.08AR compressor and around a 1.00 AR turbine. Does anyone know what this thing could be?
Could it be this? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1
The downpipe is only 3" so I don't know what I'm going to do with it yet. The FMIC is 12"x24"x4" 30.5" overall.
Since it's on a T-6 flange and the outlet is a 5" vband should I try to get a different turbine housing or does someone make a T-6 to T-4 adapter?
Anyway here are some pics.

Yea I can definatley change it over to a T-6 flange. I just wanted to make sure of what this turbo was and that it would suit my needs. I do have some concern about trying to go from a 5" turbine outlet to a 3" downpipe though. So you think it's a GT42-74? Anyway to be sure?

id try to get someone to cut off the t4 flange and weld a T6 flange on it, unless you can do that.
