I recently picked up a turbo for my e30 but I decided I want to go bigger. I know this much: The little garrett badge riveted to the back of the turbo says: No. G.F. 466016 2 NO. S. OF0108 H The first o in the last one might be a Q, but It’s hard to tell. Stamped on the hot side is: 430567111 on a lower portion of the hotside is also stamped: 430931/1 H4 \<\>10 9-6 The turbo is also .42, .48ar. internally gated, t3 flanged and ball bearing. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks! ---

you have to cross refference the serial number stamped on it with a book or online database for garret turbos. best bet is to call garrett themselves and ask, or call inn-tune or swerve motorsports to see if they can run the number for ya. ---

> [@turbo ls1 ss](#): > > you bought a turbo and didn’t know what it was? :lol: I knew I was going to upgrade before I received it anyways so I didn’t see much point in caring what it was other than to sell it and put the cash towards something I actually give a fuck about. ---

have a pic? its probably a standard turbine and a 50 trim T3 compressor wheel. good to ~270whp if you max it out and beyond. Brian
