You want a map for it or just measurements, housing looks like its 16cm^2 from that 16 and just measure the inducer probly 55mm, nice turbo. If you email holset the part number they will probly give you map for it.

Looks great Graham, like mine once did :D

We can measure the wheels, inner / outer of each, mines 50/82 & 67/63.

I'd agree with Will on the housing size, def a 16cm2 according to the numbers, mines 18cm2 although I will be after a 14 & 16 if there are any spare??? although I may need to add a spacer to the flange to use those housings.

Looking good dude, time to sell all those T3 garretts and odd intercoolers to pay for a external wastegate now!!

Graham,

You gotta open it up to measure the wheels dude, stop pi55ing about and get it in bits!! Front half on mine is V band and hot side has 4 bolts although it took some heat and abuse to get mine apart!

On the exhaust housing there are some odd numbers, the 16 on it's own seems to dictate the housing size, mines got a 18 on it, hance where we got the 16cm2 from.

I get full boost @ 4k so I would expect yours to spool a little earlier :D

Sorry to just butt in guys, but ive heard some very good things about Farraday Engineerings Solid copper head gaskets. You can have em made to standard or various thicknesses. Google for it!!
