Default TURBOCHARGER EXPERTS NEEDED!

Can any of you identifiy this Garrett Hybrid Turbocharger? It came off a 951 2.5

I have some rough measurements in Inches to help solve the puzzle.
Here they are:

11 Blades on hotside

3 inch diameter Inlet (coldside)

2 and 2/8 Inches diameter outlet (hotside)

Turbine(fan) Diameter (coldside) 2.30 inches

I was told it is a stage 5 with a #8 Hot but don't know much more about it.

Once last thing... A/R .50 m(24) is stamped on outside along with GARRETT


Thanks for your help guys!

60 or 60-1 trim with a stage 3 wheel?

My guess anyway.

Clown, you will need to take off the housings and get an exact measurement to be sure... Anything else is just a guess.

I'm just gonna make a fun guess. It looks like a 57mm compressor wheel. Only guessing this based apon the shape of the entry. You really do have to pull the compressor cover to know anything.

Thanks for the replies guys and the chart!


Ok will removing the housing mess anything up? I don't want to screw around with it and damage anything. I have never taken one apart before.

Any suggestions?

Compressor housing is easy to get off, and won't mess anything up... The turbine housing can be a bit harder to get off, as it is usually a bit rusted on.

Could be. The OD of the inducer is supposedly 2.230" which may be a bit smaller than what was posted. But for comparison, here is a picture of a .57 trim I have (for sale, BTW, but would need a KKK hot side housing).

Well I took it all apart and measured with a Micro-meter here are the results:

Starting with Cold Side (compressor wheel)

Inducer: 57.98 mm
Exducer: 74.93

Hot Side (Turbine)

Inducer: 64.20 mm
Exducer: 56.04 mm


So according to the chart that Scott H so kindly provided I probably have a......

Garrett TO4e 60 Trim Compressor / T3 Stage 3 76 trim

Would everyone concure with that? Is this chart all inclusive? some of the measurements are off by a little even after measuring and remeasureing several times !?

Anyone know if this thing is any good??? I have a 2.8 bored engine and looking to run around 400rwhp

The chart is not all-inclusive, but it does represent the most likely candidates.
That said, I believe you are correct; your turbo is a TO4E 60trim / T3 Stage 3 turbine wheel...

It is a great sized turbo for a 2.8, IMO.

Thanks guys I appreciate you pointing me in the right direction. Do you guys know much about this size turbo?

Any idea how to find out if I have a #6 #8 or #10 hot housing? What can I look at or measure to find that out?
