How can I tell the difference between a #8 and a #10 hotside? (pics)
The hotside on the turbo I am installing looks significantly bigger than my k26/8. Here is why I think it may be a #10 hotside:
#1. The 'tongue' area on the turbine blade is4-5mm wider
#2. There is no KKK stamp on the hotside.
I'll also include some pics.
The first pic is a side by side of a Lindsey super75(8 or 10), k26/8, and k26/6
The second pic is the tongue area inside of the super75
The third is a pic of the turbine wheel on the super75
The fourth pic is the tongue area of the K26/8
I hope some of the more experienced members on this board can chime in and help, it would be appreciated greatly.
And for a random and irrelevant fact, the first pic shows why there should never be a #6 hotside on these cars.

In your last picture, there is what appears a "8" in the casting. It's a aftermarket #8 housing.

The turbo on the left is a Turbonetics replica KKK housing, you can just make up the "T" where the "KKK" should be.
You should find casting numbers on the housing (you may need to separate the housing from the turbo) and cross check with Turbonetics part number list (you can download their PDF catalog).

Edit: Reread and it looks like you know the exhaust references. My apologies. The size should be stamped on the housing.
