Need opinions on what this could possible be

Found this on Craigslist but the seller doesn't have any specs. He says it's just a random turbo he's friend gave him. I think it looks pretty good for what he's asking.

No markings?
kinda looks like an ebay.

Ebay doesn't make turbos. The housing is, at least from this angle, similar to my old PTE unit, but this is not enough information to go on.

It's a possibility. I really don't want to drive 60 miles out of my way for some old piece of crap. I wish he was willing to measure the wheel for me, but he said "I'm not mechanically knowledgeable to do something like that." From what he tells me, he's been working on turbo car for over ten years.

What did it come off of? ALMOST looks like a DSM flange in the pic.

It's currently installed on a 1G DSM. It's matted up to a FP manifold, so I'm thinking it might be a old school FP turbo.

It's a PTE SCM-something. Won't know for sure without compressor or turbine specs, but the model of the turbo will be engraved in the compressor cover outlet underneath the coupler.

Looks like it could be precision turbo like scm61 journal bearing or similar yeah? Equivalent to a gt35r or am I wrong?

 

[JusMX141]

List of possibilites:

SCM5027E
SCM5031E
SCM3431E
SCM4431E
SCM6031E
SCM6052E
SCM6152E

...and at least a hundred other possible wheel combinations. I just went with the popular choices.

We need wheel specs if you want to know exactly what it is.

My old pte 5031 had it engraved right where the coupler goes on the compressor outlet.

I had a feeling this turbo wasn't junk. I'm going to see what kind of deal I can make with this guy. If I get the turbo I'll be sure to let you guys know what model it is. Thanks for the help.

Have him slip the coupler down to see what it is. He can work a wrench?
