Default Got Turbo can someone identify it?????

Hello guys need alittle help identifying this turbo i got this turbo from my ex girlfriend belonged to her boy friend....However i was so happy to take it as the turbo is brand spanking new... I plan to install it on my boosted integra with b18c and type r cams 9:4:1 compression which made 377hp and 272 lb on pump gas with a t3/t4 .58ar turbine and .50ar compressor turbo spools nicely @14lbs of boost. This turbo needs rebuilding and i would like to use this new one, does anyone know what i can expect for spool up time and if this is for 400hp goal. I asked a friend he told me it is a t3/60-1 turbo and its a very good turbo but he doesn't know how well they spool can anyone verify this????

That look like the turbo that was nick named Big Kahuna. It is good for around 550whp max. The comp wheel I think is the 60-1. it is a good low pressure turbo that will make good power.

Hence....ran 9.5 @ 150 with this in a 1700lb car.

I ran this turbo for about 4 years until the shaft recently broke (normal wear and tear)

Now...I upgraded to a .82 exhaust housing along with a TO4Z ball bearing cartridge.

And yes....I bought my turbo about 5 years ago....nicknamed "BIG KAHUNA".

Oh yeah, the Big Kahuna... The only thing is that its using the Stage III exhaust wheel. that's not going to do 550 with that combination without creating a lot of heat.

Anybody running this turbo on the street? How does it feel on the street? Spool time is it extremely laggy?

No, it runs alright. What are you trying to put it on? This turbo has been run for years on end. What is it precisely you are asking?
