Hi all,
I bought this turbo a while back and have not figured out exactly what it is. I was told it was a T04e 50 trim, but that probably is not true as it has a 2.75" inlet. It is a .50 A/R housing. Other clues are an inducer wheel diameter of about 2.2" (hard to measure this with the wheel in the housing.)
Another important clue is the date casting in the housing, it appears to be from 1994. When were T04e's first made?
From a chart I got from this site, I see that the 2.75" inlet and 2.2" (or thereabouts) inducer diameter could be a T04e 54 trim, or one of several T04b's (V or Super V maybe.)
Here is an image:
Thanks for any clues,
-Joel.

Thanks! Now to figure out which T04b. I do not have a picture of the hotside handy. It has a T3 hotside, devided exhaust.
I got it off of ebay, and was told it was a T04e/T3 hybrid. My plan was to put the compressor onto a KKK center and #8 hotside.
