I just bought a turbo from someone and was trying to figure out what type of turbo it is. I know it is a Garrett Airesearch and it has an internal wastegate on it. I know this may be a dumb question, but was just hoping maybe someone would be able to help. Thanks

 

we need a hell of a lot more information than that. pics would be helpful right about now.

 

Pics, and look on the compressor and turbine housings for any numbers.

 

Sorry i don't have a digital camera anymore to take pics, but on the housing plate it says

Factory Overhauled Turbocharger
S/N VEM0005
P/N 466032-9002

 

well it looks like it's off of a volvo, either a 2.3L 740, 760, 760GLE, 760 TURBO. the turbo model is a tb0326.

 

So does that mean it is a T3 turbo or ? Thanks for your help.

 

im not sure, but id say that it most likely is some form of t3, you might want to post on homemadeturbo.com as they are the kings of junkyard turbos,

 

Thanks for the help and the info wantboost. Definitely appreciated
