Default Need Help Identifying Turbo

I would like to know what size restrictor to use and what downpipe flange I would need so I can get the exhaust shop to make me a custom downpipe. Let me know if you need more pictures or information.

Do you know the a/r sizes of the compressor side and exhaust side. If the turbo isnt ball bearing there really is no use for a restrictor, and you will need a 5 bold exhaust flange. Hope that helps you out.

Run a restrictor. You will need one. Turbos only need around 10 psi of oil press. Now think if you ran 70+ lbs of psi what it would do? It will push past your oil contole rings and it will then smoke.

The exhaust is a .48a/r and the intake is a .42a/r.
Well I decided to use a .060 restrictor, now I am just trying to find a downpipe flange. The normal t3 five bolt flange just doesn't line up.
