Evo III 16G. Seriously, search a little...even Googling the part number will turn up a plethora of information.How about this number 49178-01470, which turbo is this?
I'll even go one step further....Cool,thanks alot!! It might not even make boost. The car currently is not running and from what the previous owner told me is hasn't been started with the turbo in it's current state on the car.
Every company is unique in some way to their compressor cover type and design. I've just seen enough of these turbos that I can generally get a ballpark idea.Justin,
Just curious. How can you tell what turbo it is with absolutely no outer markings at all or p/n's?

That type of compressor nut is used on the Chinese turbos. I'm willing to bet my next paycheck that the previous owner had a SBR G50 that took a shit, so he swapped a Chinese T3's CHRA into the G50's compressor cover and shoved the whole assembly into a PTE turbine housing creating one HELL of a Mutt turbo.
I rebuilt one of those Chinese T3's one time....what they called a "50-Trim" had the inducer spec of a 46-Trim Garrett wheel with a slightly smaller exducer so the measurement stayed at an actual 50-trim calculation. Such cheaters.
Here's how your turbo began life:
