all the info i can offer on it is in the picture, also, it was supposedly a TE44 but Billy Duke said it looks too small
also, where can i get an adjustable wastegate rod
or detailed instructions on how to make one
long story short, the car came with an adjustable knob lookin thing and a deltagate,
got a new downpipe, and a non adjustable rod with it

If you want a new HP actuator, I can get one for ya.
That turbo could be a 44. Need to look at the compressor side though to make sure.
Where is the oil inlet for the turbo getting it's pressure from?

Looks just like my friends TE-44 but as Taffy said it's hard to tell.

its got a Turbo Saver oiling system, to provide presure to the turbo
it says on the inlet side: Turbonetics A/R .70

That looks just like my stage 3 cheetah turbo.

I would check with precision and see if they know. They are known for selling the oiling system for the turbo as a "turbosaver" Amybe it was a package deal, being that they do not guarantee their turbochargers unless the turbo saver is purchased along with them. If they dont know, then the next best guy is: John Craig! he has to know!

we added the turbo saver a few weekends ago.. so no luck there... i think we're going to eventually replace it anyways.. im assuming it can run 18 pounds of boost safely so it doesnt matter for now..
