Default How do I know what kind of turbo this is

A customer of ours car has a turbo on it that I have never seen. It doesnt have any manufacturers markings on it, although it has a blue metal tag that simply says "TURBOCHARGER". I did notice it has a split style exhaust flange and a vband on the exhaust.

Can anyone confirm that this is a cheapo turbo, i.e. xspower, ssautochrome, obx, etc.?

Please no guessing I'm looking for someone that can identify this turbo. I dont want to continue with this project if I know for sure this is a crap turbo.

TIA!

It looks ALOT like this turbo although they dont show a photo up close enough to see if the blue tag says "TURBOCHARGER".

there's been a batch of those going around.

My buddy Jeff got one of those. I'll post a link to his findings.

Can anyone confirm on this particular turbo?

The one I am speaking of doesnt say xspower on it anywhere but does have a blue tag that says "TURBOCHARGER"
