Its a bullseye turbine housing old style with the internal wastegate flapper welded up so the last owner had a external gate on a stock manifold probably because they were using a stock or 2nd gen 02 housing.

As for the turbo its a garrett or garrett style with a non anti surge housing since its a .60 ar its probably a 57 trim size. Any better than that you'll have to pull off the housings and measure the blades across the small and large diameters. As for the color of the compressor housing it kind of looks like a master power which necessarily isn't a bad thing because I've seen some of them that lived forever and pulled like a bullet train.


It looks to be fresh out of rebuild with the paint on the blades and it rusted the way it is probably has been taking up space for a while in a shop

it looks, um... better than a 14b
if i had to "guess" i'd agree (without question) to the BEP hotside, and i'd venture a guess as to it being some ebay turbo

have you done measurements of it yet? If its that important to know measure everything and sent that and pictures direct to precision to see. If your keeping it bolt it on and go at it. If its a 61mm unit and your still on a 14b best start looking for injectors of 1000cc or larger and the rest of the supporting mods. Even on low boost that thing will flow more than a 14b turned up on kill.

I might as well jump in on this...

Can anyone post pics of what to measure? I have a Turbonetics but don't exactly know what trim it is. Does anything have to be replaced when taking it apart just to take measurements?

Remove the compressor housing, and measure the distance across the blades at the top, then the distance across the bottom of the compressor wheel.
You should not need to replace anything.

Looks like a 50 trim from those sizes.
About the same as my PTE 5031.

Cold side AR is 60 with a 3inch inlet and 2 inch out.
It's oil cooled and has journal bearings not ball.
The only other real difference seems to be that mine had a PTE exhaust housing.

Quoting ma70t:
the measurement of the turbo 2 1/8 on top of the blade and 3 1/8 what is trim would it be


A precise measurement with a dial caliper would be of great worth here.
 

you can also try asking on theturboforums.com since lots of those guys use masterpower turbos and many have tried ebay turbos.

It looks like a 50trim, based on the measurements given. If its not a 50 trim, it could be a 54/57/60 trim turbo. The 60 trim would surge but they all make ok power on a dsm.
