I suck at the internet I can’t get the info I’m looking for.
I got a 1997 7.3L turbo motor / trans.
Basically looking for turbo specs.
T4 flanged?
Trim?
I do believe its a 80mm

what I found on ebay shows its not flanged per any standard (t3/t4). the a/r rations should be stamped on it. it does not look conducive for a custom set up if thats what you are going for

eek, looks like they use a ‘pedestal’ to hold the wastegate solenoid and maybe the oil fittings? weird.

IIRC my 95 powerstroke used a Garrett 38mm with a 1.06 housing. No wastegate, but a back puressure valve built into the turbo, only used to help with startup. Mine was not intercooled, but I know that International started using and I/C, I believe in 97. There is a shop on/near Walden that knows these things inside/out. I’ll try and dig up the name.
Thankfully I never had to remove the turbo, so I don’t know about the flanges.

I don’t know much about the Turbo, But I do know it’s a complete motherfucker to change the DP. My buddy had a Powerstroke. That entire engine was nothing but a PITA to work on. I’ll take my Cummins anyday.
