So ive had this turbo for about 3 years now and im just getting around to figureing out what it, I predict from looking at your post on identifying your turbo that im some where around TO4E 50 trim ball bearing and a F1 turbine .69 A/R, but witch it is i dont know
Here are my measurments... There close but not perfect

COmpressor Housing inlet is 3 inches
Outlet is 2 inches

Compressor wheel
Major 3.199in or 81mm
Minor 2.12 or 53mm
Turbine turbine wheel
Major 2.91 or 73.9mm
Minor 2.28in or 57.9mm.
The only numbers on the whole thing is one that is on the turbine housing an its 20269-2 i think that was for q trim or somthing i cant rmrber, but ill leave it up to u to tell me the true details
From what i read its also a super compressor wheel, what is the differenc between super and regular? I know its turbnetics cause its stamped all over it, Has gold backing plate etc etc. I picked this up for 250 bucks, Its bran new and i want to use it on a fully built a moded 2.0L engine, twin cams fully ported and +1mm valves etc etc. Its been 5 years in its creation. I can tell that this is an old turbo so im sure technology today surpast this thing already. WHat can i sell this for and what type of turbo should i use in the event that this one isnt good for my app?
Thanks Pete

Looks like a T04E Super 50 compressor with a the turbine wheel could be an F1-57 but the major diameter doesn't match. I'm not sure what it would go for honestly but this turbo is good for over 450 WHP

so how would somthing like this work on a 2 liter engine with a 9000 rpm peak, Is it worth using or should i just sell this and get another turbo

If it's an F1-57 wheel you should be able to get 450-470 WHP with that motor. Bottom line yes it would work on that motor. Just depends on how much power you are trying to make.
