Identifying turbos
I'm new with turbos and a buddy just gave me his T3 Garrett and i was wondering how you would be able to tell if it was a T3 and what not and what exactly does LITTLE to NO PLAY mean. and how you would be able to identify the TRIM and A/R

it definitely looks like a T3 to me. See those casting marks on the compressor side? What does it say after "A/R" and after "M"?

Re: Identifying turbos (daredeezy619)
it looks like a mercedes diesel turbo. At least the one I had on my delsol looked identical except for the internal bypass valve on the compressor housing. im guessing they changed it in later years.
t3 .42/.48, 45 or so trim, turbine wheel was close to that of a t3/t04e stage 3 wheel, spooled very fast. good for maybe 200whp?
I liked these for junkyard setups because you can modify the turbine housing to make it external dump, or reoute the dump further down the dp picking up a few hp. if you see the port inside the turbine housing for the wastegate, you can weld that shut then drill a hole in that 4 bolt flange that covers the wastegate. then weld your 1.5" pipe to it and the wastegate gases are now seperated from the turbine wheel gases.
its strange it woudl say .48 on the compressor side. are you sure??
