Can anyone I D this turbo? My former employer gave a pair of these.1 exploded,1 good. I am thinking a 66 67 70,something like that.Comp inside of air inlet measures2.590in.Can a 3 bolt turbine hsg. be installed? Skidman.

well, That turbo could be used, but it will need a carbon seal conversion and and that split scroll housing has to go. there a no no on a buick.

Whats your plans for this unit? might offer up good parts for yours.

Drfrankenstein,
I would like to get through the holidays before spending too much on the cars. Could you give me some kind of idea on cost to update turbo?
Turbo is a reman from Michigan Turbo. I do not think they are still open.Tried to call them not long ago,no answer.Years ago a mag. called Sand Sports had a vendor that sold carb base that had a 3in. (hose)conn. to a normal sized turbo. I thought about my TA49 and their carb base.Please let me know. Skidman.
