Yea, it's older, but it was the most common up until just a couple years ago. Find out if it's a Garrett/Turbonetics or Precision 5-bolt housing. The Precision 5-bolt housings are much better, Precision made their own custom 5-bolt version based off the Garrett 4-bolt design, which is much more efficient. The old 5-bolt will still work fine and make power though. With an adapter plate mounting it to the stock DSM manifold and a 60-trim compressor wheel, it isn't going to be the top of the line setup anyways. It should still be capable of over 450whp.
Can a person swap the old 5-Bolt for the Precision one and have every thing bolt up?

is that a sc61? If so, I think I know where you found it for sale. I thought it needed a rebuild though.

nope, this is just a 60trim. A guy I've known for a while that does mostly buschur stuff. This was on his car when he bought it, he ran some 11's with it. I might have to pick it up just for fun, it's a pretty good deal.

Are you not using the mutt anymore? I thought you got a 60-1 rebuilt also.

yea, I haven't done anything with that yet. I might just sell it, I want something that's in working condition.
