i THINK i scored a T3

wel buddy of mien was cleanign out his firend garage (her husband left her with a garage frul of junk a few years back)
this is also the kid that got me a set of groun effects for a 83-86 TC that i cant use.
ok back to the turbo, there was one layign around, loosk to be T3 ish, says air research on it, same bolt p[attern exhuast inlet, big oil return like my 83 TC. its has lots fo shaft play,b ut i plan on gettign a rebuild kit if this works, but my question is, that the front of the turbo doest have a flang like my IHI, is has a round connection for lieka rubber hose, loosk to be 2 1/4 -2 1/2, cant relaly determins size that well. but it also has a external waste gate, is this a T3? its off a Saab i bleive, thanks!
BTW it was freee so no lose if its not!

it has engravins ont he inlet saying
" RC. M10 AIR .42"
then on the back near the waste gate it says "DH4/4 garrett H4"

hope this helps

Steve says that the saabs used a .42 compressor housing, and this thing is oil cooled, so i dont think its a usable one for me, but no lose, it was free

Now THERE'S a reliable source.

Sorry to go off topic but let me know if you want to sell them ground effects, I just bought an 85 TC. I live right outside Philly.

with your typing skills, I'm sure someone will come up with what that is...within one letter/number of it anyway.

If it is a Saab turbo it is fairly small as far as a t3 goes. Not much bigger than an ihi. I wouldn't bother rebuilding it. I would sell it and put that money towards a .60/.63 t3 or better yet a t3/t4.
