Default Turbo identification

Need a seal badly for my turbo but cannot find without type of turbo. Does anyone have a garrett turbo that says a/r.50. also m24 and L stamped on the front. 3 inch inlet 2 inch outlet. Maybe you could tell me the model of this turbo.

The M24 is the stamping on the compressor housing. Many garret turbochargers will use this same housing, which will make identification difficult from the information you provided. Somewhere on the housing there should be a metal tag with some serial number information. This might be one way to identify which it is.

I'd suggest posting a picture, as someone may be able to identify it visually.

Most turbo builders buy the housing pre machined for a wheel. Look on the flat outer
diamater of the compressor housing where the 6 bolts go and see if you see any information
stamped there. Something like TO4B 60-1.

Most garrett center sections use the same o-ring.

it is a small frame garrett judging by the info you provided.
