I recently aquired a turbo, and i'm not really sure exactly what it is!?

It says Garrett GT 1 AR052 on the exhaust casting.

the build plate is 'missing'

any help would be massively appreciated.

1/4mile in 13.2sec @ 111 terminal on 15psi

Whatever it is AR 052 on the turbine is likely to mean its Ar is .52. This is pretty big, maybe too big.

how many bolts holding the turbine to the centre housing?

Well, You need to undo the six little bolts, and four larger ones - and do some measuring of diameters and counting of blades.

I'll take a guess on a GT22 frame - as that fella looks pretty large to me.

true!

i now think, after lots of searching, that its a gt2560, for a ford zetec.

it doesn't realy look used,and doesn't have any play.

so i'm pretty sure its fine!

Too big for a Mini then.

It will stuggle to spool anything out of it.

Bigger is not better in this case.

i didn't realise it was that much bigger!

after all my cosworth had a t3, so did my fiesta, and so did the metro turbo. and thats not small

so, no good for a 1293 and 18psi then?

the T3 come in many sizes in both exhaust and turbine,

you can for example find T2's that are efectivly biger than a T3.

the T3 used on the metro is right at the small end of the scale for t3's

also the later GT's have little resembalance to the earlier T's size wise, for example a GT30 is much bigger usually than a T3 flow wise.

okay, thats great, cheers for the help
