Unusual CT26 came on parts car

[Dirgle]

I recently picked up a 1988 MKIII parts car. While checking the engine out I noticed the turbo had a really small inducer size on the compressor wheel. I know there have been many variations of the CT26 but which one is this? Any ideas?

It says CT26 on the compressor housing but does not say Toyota like most MKIII's. Also the band clamp holding the CRHA to the turbine housing is different than the ones I've seen. The coolant hard line has a difference as well.

Not sure, but it's possibly a Celica/MR2 CT26? Not familiar with the smaller one, though.

This would also be my guess. may try a google image search for celica ct26 and see what pops up.

Maybe an eBay nock off?

Take some measurements.

That being said, the one you have is probably from a Land Cruiser 1HD-T - 43mm inducer.
If you look them up the overseas compressor housings don't always have Toyota on them.

And later it came with a Garrett VGT. And they are fast...for a diesel.
