figured out what it is, see post 6

rough measurements of the compressor and turbine wheels;  
exhaust = 71.12/2.8 exducer and 60.9/2.4 inducer,  
compressor = 74.7/2.94 exducer and 46.9/1.85 inducer.

(^sorry, I didnt see you ever posted that)

bump.

we are going to be sending out the sr20 ECU to get an enthalpy tune this week so I think they will need to know what size/trim/kind of turbo this is.

any help?

ok, found out its a T04-E17 off of a 86-89 dt360 bus.

going to have 550 injectors, z32 MAF, enthalpy tune, 3" exhaust, FMIC.

how much boost can a stock motor hold with this? probably 10-12#s?
