unknown turbo... any ideas?

[kazeyuki]

Ok so i have a "stg 3 suprasport turbo" and i don't even know what trim/housing it is. below is a pic of it the prev owner told me that he needed to use a spacer so the turbo would fit correctly. It bolts up to the stock manifold.. so i'm guessing its a stock ct housing? i have no idea. anyone have any idea? thanks in advance. sorry for the big pic... i don't know how to resize.

Pull of the cold side's cover, use a dial caliper to measure the inducer and exducer?

that looks like a pretty small turbo, take a pic of the exhaust housing as well as the bearing housing. the wastegate and cold cover are totally different than a ct-26

make sure your oil seals don't "Push out" and make sure the oil is not "Coaxed, because that can push your seals":naughty::naughty::naughty::naughty:

I would e-mail or call suprasport.com and ask them if they have any information on it. Their BOSS series turbos are "bolt-on."

Ahead of you Seven....That does not have the BOSS housing on it. I know that the old SS turbo changed a couple of times before we acquired it.

I did notice the oil lines looked like some of the old SS Sport turbo lines (when Jeff Montigy owned it).
It may be a old Sport turbo, it is not a BOSS series turbo

Ah, thanks for the info! I wasn't sure what the previous models even looked like, but when he said SupraSport turbo, BOSS was the first thing that came to mind!

I stand corrected. Good luck on finding out what turbo you have! Don't be bashful in measuring the inducer/exducer as suggested.

NP
ALL turbo's have the same shape ... you have to look for the little things. I guess it helps when I see the BOSS ones everyday

this may help you with what turbo it is. A stage 3 or stage both used the same size compressor wheel:

SupraSport Plug-n-Play Hybrid Sport Turbo! This unit is a replica of the discontinued HKS sport turbo. This is a direct fit turbo for the stock manifold. Compressor Side: T04 family 60-1 hi-fi wheel with a 2.75in inlet / 2in outlet compressor housing. This will clear the exhaust manifold and heat shield. The in/out will mate with your stock-fitment piping, no hassle, no extra cost for special piping.
