Default How to find specs on a turbo?

How do I find the A/R of the compressor/exhaust and all the other info when there is no stamping anywhere on the turbo?

I think the only other way to find it is to take it apart and measure for yourself.

Bought it from this guy on Thepartstrader/Honda-tech. He doesn't know either, he just knows that its a T3/T4e Garrett. But the turbine housing has the standard 5 digit Turbonetics part #. so I'm not too sure.

How big is your A/R trim? Should say on the Turbo where it says uh...... "A/R .XX" go figure huh? Dude, if you thing was legit, and you were around say a .52-.56, I might consider it. Then again, maybe not, I still need to learn more abotu turbos first before I just jump into something again.

How about you just send me yours and I can tell you what size it is? COMEON!

Nevermind I think I just saw your turbo.. is it used?
here's mine if you want to see. I'm starting to like it a lot now all of a sudden.

It's upside down but you can see the .60 on top.
