Okay, so I pulled my turbo to rebuild. Purchased car 5 years ago with decent mods but didn't realize how big the turbo is. Tell me if I'm wrong in what I measured and if right, best way to rebuild. Im not seeing what the articles are saying.
Lets start with some info and pictures. Both housings say A/R 60...Pulled intercooller side (compressor I believe)cover off and measured 3.584 on outer spline and 2.584 on inner spline using micrometer... This translates to 91mm and 65.6mm respectively. I then measured output side (connecting to downpipe) and it is also 2.584, 65.6mm. Does this sound right? What exactly do I have here? Way more than I need I believe, but it's what came on it.

I know you will have more questions as to what is paired up to provide and why such a large turbo. I want to know also...thanks...pictures coming...

By the way, I need to rebuild as I'm blowing oil, not a huge amount but enough to know.

Post the rest of the combo to determine if its too big.

It's the old diesel tv45 compressor and probably a big shaft clipped p exhaust wheel. It's a low 10 sec turbo and I wouldn't even consider using unless I was running at least high 10's

it is but its what came with car, it will be under used as I dont have a track within 75 miles...gotta start somewhere, so might as well have turbo looked at and cleaned up...coming your way Bison per communication earlier.
 
but also to answer sleeper's request... red stripe inj (40 lb I believe), walbro pump, ATR exhaust, street/strip chip, not sure on stall or heads
