Is this a precision turbo?

Bought this turbo a few months ago and was told it was a precision 66mm. I am really not sure how to tell, and from what I have been seeing lately, it should say precision on it. Here are some pics, let me know what you think. If you can't tell from the pics, where should I look?

Awesome, thanks! What would that turbo be worth in its current condition? (used but in good working order)

your turbine wheel is a "76 trim" which is a "P trim"... not particularly large for a 346 but if your goals are mild it should rock.. remember, theres people that run even smaller turbines. I'd swap out the turbine housing. PM sent with price.

All depends on how much power you are looking for. If you don't mention that their is no way to tell you if it will work or not.

Looking to get 600 rwhp out of it. It is just a fun street car with the occasional track use.

Unless you have tons of money to throw around (and sounds like you dont)... i would build the (turbo) kit and run it with that turbo and upgrade later if you need more...

Don't try to fix what ain't broke
