Purchased this Turbo, but doubt it's a T61..
Last week, my search for a turbo took a serious step when I purchased this turbo: Ebay Link.
Upon researching the compressor housing and turbine housing, I've come to the decision this is a T60-1 and not a T61 as advertised. Here are a few detailed pics I based my decision upon:
Whole Turbo:
Compressor Housing:
Turbine Housing: (0.58 AR with Turbonetics Stamp)
Height Comparison: (16.9 OZ Water Bottle)
Width Comparison: (16.9 OZ Water Bottle)
If any of you can shed some light on this I would appreciate it. Also, does anyone have any information on the difference between the T61 and the T60-1?
Finally, if this turbo is a T60-1, I plan on either re-selling it or trading it for a Holset HX40. Does anyone have any literature on the HX40 including compressor maps and goodies of this sort? I tried contacting Holset, but they claimed their maps were confidential...
Thanks in advance.

I was wondering the same thing. But back on topic, you've gotta be careful getting anything off ebay, the slightest difference in advertisement could screw you over even if you think your getting a deal. Hopefully you get it all straightened out!

Get some calipers and take the compressor housing off, if it measures 58mm for the small part of the blade then it is a 60-1, if it measures 61mm and 82mm exducer then it is a T61
