Default Need help identifying my turbo

the only numbers I can find on this turbo anyway are 21409

From what I've read that has to be the serial number. I know it's a 76mm turbo, but other than that I'm clueless. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

After looking through the catalog thoroughly I have come to the conclusion that my unit is a Super T series. Now I just have to figure out what the A/R is and all of that. There's nothing stamped anywhere on the turbine housing. Since I don't have a micrometer, I had to do my best with what I had.

I came up with:
Compressor:
minor: 2.95
major: 4.00

Turbine:
minor: 2.95
major: 3.10~3.20

The entire assembly is held together via V band clamps instead of bolts and brackets. This line is the only one I saw in the catalog with such a connection system.

Here are some pics of the unit in question:






thanks for any and all help guys!

That certainly looks like a Super T series unit. As for A/R it should be stamped on the turbine housing somewhere.

I've looked everywhere and have yet to find it. I'm putting it on my 5.0 Mustang so even the highest A/R of .96 should still be ok.

I got it from a place called Titan Motorsports, so I know it came off a pretty powerful Supra.

Thanks for confirming that for me though Robert, I appreciate it!

Well, depending on the A/R it should be fine for your 5.0. You can get a smaller A/R in the T4 turbine family but I doubt anyone would have gone much below .96 on anything with that size compressor so I think you're safe on that one.
