Weird turbo from NAI??

[92EagleAWD]

Ok, so my buddy bought a MKIII turbo supra with a crap load of parts for $500, we have already made our money back from the shell and diff, but we still have most of the interior, the tranny, the engine (7MGTE) with 2 stock (ct26) turbos and a weird turbo that was bolted to the engine when we got it. My buddy said he would give me the turbo to use on my car if i wanted. But when i looked up the numbers on it this is what i found T4 Rotary Turbo from some random company called Nordic Auto Import? Anyways the link shows the specs of the turbo, ill try to get some pics of the actual turbo tomorrow, it looks almost identical to the on on the site except the compressor cover is different. Anyways, let me know what you guys think. Who knows, maybe someone has actually herd of them before?

Well just so you know XSpower= ebay. But... you did say the compressor housing is different... any markings of any sort?

Not really, just the ID tag that is identical to the one in the pic. After looking through the site a bit more pretty much everything looks chinese made, the turbo we have does not say XSpower and is shaped a bit different, im not gonna lie, the compressor cover looks like a very cheap cast piece. But the wheels dont look quite as shitty as most ebay turbos ive seen. and that site is asking the equivilant to $900+ for the turbo?? Doesnt mean its not a POS just saying.

Post pics of your actual turbo instead of one that it "looks like" and I'll I.D. it for you, explaining whether it's a knockoff and if it's worth it's own weight in cow shit or not.

Ok, if your as good as you think you are we have 2 turbos for you to identify

Turbo #1 is the NAI "T4 rotary turbo" mentioned above.

Turbo #2 we have been told is a Holset HX52, which i do not believe. We dont know what it came off from. but supposedly the tag that was on it which is now missing said holset.

Turbo #1 is a knockoff T04B of some size- appears to have a turbine around the size of a P-Trim Garrett and a compressor around the size of a V-Trim Garrett. Tons of lag, not a lot of airflow.

Turbo #2 is some kind of antique Holset. Doesn't appear to be a HX52; those look more like:

I actually think Turbo #2 is a very old HX50 with a 19cm turbine housing.
