http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/255353/7 i bought this turbo from ebay thinking that it was a gt28rs but w/ the help of other forum numbers my suspicions were proven true that it is not a disco potato. but now i dont know what it is, i need help figuring out what it is. it has been suggested that it could be a gt2871r but still not sure, here are the pics

i have tried looking online, i looked through the garret catalogue and nothing, i even called ben @jwt, he couldn't tell me what it is either. i was hoping you guys can compare the serial number of the turbo to the ones you have. thanks in advance
the serial number i have on my turbo is
715583-5006
i wanna trade this turbo for a disco potato

Im not sure what turbo it is, but id take a gt2871r over a disco potato though.

I think it's a GT35R

Either way... it's BIG. It'll take a while to spool. And if you wanted the quick spool of the DP turbo, this is far from it.

could it be a t3/t4, can anyone read me their serial number please

a serial number off of the t3/t4 or a gt35r would be helpful

anyone?

Hmm, have you tried contacting APR or some turbo junkies? Somebody has got to know what it is. Howabout who you brought it from? What did he say it was? PM me with all of the #'s off of it. TY

yea i called atp, they were of no help at all, i called ben @jwt , he called me back after 3 hours all confused himself. they guy i bought it from scammed everyone and now doesn't return emails

definetly a t3t4. If you take the turbo apart and measure the inducer and exducer I can tell you what you have. gt and t28 series turbos are mostly water cooled also. You do have a 70 ar compressor which is huge.

that doesn't sound good

How much did you pay for the turbo. you could try precision turbo with that part number. Its definitely a t3/t4 cause of the t04s cover that it has. It could either be a gt30r or a gt35r with a t04s compressor cover, what size is the exhaust housing by the way.

when you figure out what it is be sure to let us know

Damn thats a big turbo! You should give a good listing to the #'s on the tag and i can prob help you out. I have plenty of friends that sell lots of aftermarket turbos that could help. Just give me all the #'s off the turbo and the tags and i can give you some help with it.

later,Jon

the serial number is: gkm60263
the part number is: 715583-5006

not a gt series(iirc all gt's are water cooled) just a big t3t4 lag monster. dose it have a ball bearing center section?

:confused:

well its looking more and more like its a t3/t4, but i dont want a t3/t4, gt28rs mainly becuase i bought most of the parts in planning for a dp

anyhelp figuring it out?

looks like a t3to4s.

I hate ebay assholes that sell you something different than what they say :mad:
