looks like a 87-91 supra turbo to me. i think its a ct-26 :stickpoke ..... just kidding there is no real way to tell unless u take the wheels out and get to measuring

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

looks like a 62 trim to me.

 

[Supradude7mgte]

thats what im guessing because its the size of the opening on the front turbine

 

[dumbo]

yah way bigger intake than my 57 trim, but is that a good lookin crack at the wastegate?!?!

to4b.. either 60-1 or 62-1.. turbine looks clipped as well

interesting fact. i found out my ct-26 has a t3 oil channel. the oil lines are on the top and the return is on the bottom. doesn't this make the turbo more stabil?

most all turbos are set up like that....yours isn't different...it needs to be that way or you'll flood the turbo.

because of the upgrade?


i know the stock turbo has both the in and out on the bottom of the turbo

 

[gaboonviper85]

more than likely yes...it's just a better way to oil the turbo...but it doesn't make it a super special ct....if your turbo is a 61-1 or 60-1 it probably won't last long anyway.

 

[Supradude7mgte]

well, then boss jr maybe...... better start savin

 

[gaboonviper85]

yeah they have a reputation for not staying together very long..

awesome....not saying it will blow.....just saying that's what they are know to do....which is why the most common upgrade is a 57 trim as it's a happy medium between reliable and hp...
