Default Need help figuring out what turbo they shipped to me....

well here are some pics of the turbo....so far i don't trust the ebayer that i bought it from because the kit wasn't complete...( i know it's eBay ..but had good feedback) its a vecco kit.... i paid 299.00 extra for the bigger turbo....i was suppose to get a turbo that can reach 550hp, t3/t04b ...so far i know i have a stage 3 wheel but i need help with the nameplate and does the color mean anything ( orange )..please take a look at the pics.

the vecco kits on ebay look pretty good. i don't think he ripped you off at all. that turbo looks like a turbonetics turbo which is pretty good...as for how much power it can support you should email turbonetics that part number/sticker and ask them to be 100% certain.

from what i noticed......vecco sells good stuff.......but if you need to ask question or need help its almost impossible to get any fast or useful replies.

Gotta remember a 60-1 is still a T04B wheel. So a T3/60-1 can make up to 550whp, I made 500whp with 25psi on my B16A almost three years ago. It is a good turbo BUT much better out now. It will make over 500whp though
