yeah eBay turbos would do that to you .. cold sides look like hot sides and vice-versa .. you probably got stuck with a batch of turbos on eBay with a twin-hotside body and no cold side, its a rare evolutionary thing .. you got to accept it and live on.

dude pick up a maximum boost book by corky bell and read it. the cold side is generall always an aluminum housing with an outlet that is tube shape. the hotside is the turbine housing and has the 4 bolt inlet where it bolts to a manifold
