I don't have the part number handy, I can provide it later. Its a garrett off a Ford Merkur(junkyard)
with exhaust A/R of .48 and compressor A/R of.60 The car was a 2.5L
its off an automatic tranny version. so most likely it should spool nicely.

At first I was just searching for new turbo to use. The money got tighter in the project and the guys I was talking to about the different turbos were not as helpful. One guy in the states said sure I can get you a turbo, heres the price. I ask"whats the size blah blah blah......." no answer for the info I need.
Another guy in Calgary promises me the right set up, even said his best man worked the maps to get the right size. When I called back he was out of the office, so I spoke to this expert guy, he said he didn't know much about it, as well said I needed to provide more info. After I had provided all the info I could to the other guy.

so when I all came down to it. I went to the junkyard and found a decent one. No idea if the specs will be correct or not.

Also the thing with a junkyard turbo is you get all the pieces, like wastegate, exhaust outlet, any piping , flanges for the oil px in, and all the other tubes and fittings.

with a new turbo you have to source all that stuff. When I was looking at using the Toyota exhaust housing(turbonetic), the guys told me I would have to fabricate all the outlet and wastegate controls. Too much work IMOP.
