this is a little off topic but what kinda intake hosing is connected to your turbo??? I'm looking for something like that. A flexible intake hosing, can't find it anywhere.

It's a 3" intake hose. Look at local auto shops like Autozone, or advance auto. They mostly have 2.25" or something like that but i got lucky and found a 3".

Not really going to be able to tell from those pics. At the very least, take off the intake piping so you can count the blades. 6 blades are going to be in the E family and 7 are going to be the B family.

yep, or just look at the housing and if it says .50ar its B housing, if it says .60ar its E housing.

Not really. You can have a E compressor wheel on a machined B housing. You are going to have to look at the compressor wheel itself and count the blades. To get the exact trim you would have to measure it.
