    What's the deal with this turbo? Garret T4 twin scroll, .84 exhaust / .50 compressor

    I picked up a rebuilt garret turbo from a guy at work who is into mazda and toyota engines. I got a super good deal on it, and am just hoping that it will be compatible with the build I've got in mind. Given these area ratios, what kind of HP can i expect out of my m50 w/ just a head spacer & s50 cams (as an aside, I'm pretty sure cams are worthwhile but just wanted to ask about that as well)? I know there are numerous other variables, but ballpark, is 400 attainable with this snail? I don't have much more info than that, aside from a few numbers cast into the casing. They read m-24 RC (compressor). On the exhaust side there is a small plate with some numbers (41121). I already bought it but just want to get an official bf.c consult before I continue down the path to boost and financial ruin

    Thanks in advance for the insight fellas.
    But I'm tryin, Ringo. I'm tryin real hard.

    I'm not sure how such a small compressor a/r would affect the performance. Sounds like a really weird match up, possibly even a diesel turbo with that large of a turbine housing. The only divided t4 turbo I could find that is .50/84 is this http://www.global-b2b-network.com/b2...bocharger.html

    similar?

    yeah... my buddy has a very similar turbo on his vr6 build (I believe its a holsett H1c). His compressor wheel is a mm or so larger than mine,
    But I'm tryin, Ringo. I'm tryin real hard.

    Post some photos of the turbo and others can better identify the turbo for sure.

    the turbo at this link looks exactly like mine. I can tell you that it is indeed a diesel turbo. Just not sure about much other than that.
