Name That turbo!

[tpunx99GSX]

A buddy of mine just got this turbo for $450 brand spankin new. His car is as stock as they come but I then stated that "hey if this is an upgrade for me then we could just swap setups..." he said that would be fine.
He didnt know what turbo it was but was gonna find out today and message me what it was. But in the meantime i thought it would be fun to ask you all what turbo you think it is.
Also Secondary Question: Where can i find a exhaust manifold and o2 Housing for this beast.
Here are the specs that i could see from it:
4" Inlet
3" Outlet
Divided T4 Exhaust with the VBand Flange on the outlet of the Exhaust
Its pretty Massive. It has a vband on the compressor cover.
Its only oil cooled. (so likely not a BB turbo)
Here are the pics.

Looks like a B/W to me, what's the A/R on that turbine housing? It looks massive!

Here's a couple divided T4 manifolds you could consider depending on your budget, and preference as far as tubular or cast:

As for the turbo, there's no p/n or anything at all on the center section to help identify it? 8 Visible compressor blades? How big is that thing...

[tpunx99GSX]

its freakin massive. It makes my scm61 look small. I couldnt find any markings on it.

[Halon]

The fact that you can't see the smaller compressor blades underneath also makes me think maybe BW. Maybe something in the S400 range? All the S300's I've seen only have 7/14 compressor blades. Maybe go search some diesel forums.

eBay?

Chinese knockoff of a Holset?

Measure the wheels...

Give the random turbos a rest, for good!

Just keep your current setup and make it work

[A//// Guy]

That was a different turbo and different situation.
This turbo was from a guy that races VW bugs usually has even bigger turbos on his car.
Ill find out the exact model number and brand after lunch. (i forgot my phone at home today).
The guy that actually bought the turbo from the guy says that he remembers the guy saying something about it being a GT series, but dont quote me on that.

[Halon]

GT = General Tsao?? He makes delicious chicken and T4 turbos now? I need to meet this guy!

[tpunx99GSX]

Hes saying that it is a GT35R.... Which doesnt make sence because there are no coolent lines.... and it looks a little big to be a 35r.

[FattyBoomBatty]

Maybe he means 55R.

[Matt D.]

That has to be a knockoff. Look at how plain the compressor housing is.



Here is a BWS300:


Here is a BW S400:

[tpunx99GSX]

ok i guess not a GT35r but a turbo called a TR35R. Never heard of that one.

[crazy_skier]

have any more info, like a brand or something??

[A//// Guy]

Chineee dirtee kneee.

[Shane@DBPerformance]

Any real turbo will have part#s all over it. That probably a Chave35R.

You and Andrew should get married, you both have a knack for buying other people's crap.

[tpunx99GSX]

I didnt buy anything. I still have my SCM6152e Setup. If it was an upgrade i would just swap the setup out for this one. but it doesnt seem so. and i am not someone to trust anything from ebay or china when there are moving parts involved.
