bradvr6 0 Posted August 17, 2011 Hi guys, I recently came into posession of a turbo charger when I bought a job lot of turbo bits on the cheap. I can't for the life of me find out exactly what model it is or what it's off! It looks to me a though it's a Garrett T3. I've tried entering the serial number on the Garrett website but the number disappears after about 5 digits. It's been overhauled at some stage and has had a replacement Garrett serial number added. I've since taken it to a turbo specialist and he isn't sure either. He reckons it's a T3 off an Escort Cosworth but he's not certain. Whatever it is, I need to know if it's going to do the job on my VRT conversion. HELP!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coullstar 0 Posted August 17, 2011 Whats the manifold its on? If its an escort cossie turbo its probably a bit too small for the VR. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bradvr6 0 Posted August 17, 2011 Yeah that's what I thought but it came off a MK3 2.8 VRT. The manifold has no markings what so ever. The guy at Turboforce said that it would be good for up to about 6-7 psi which makes sense as the MK3 VRT was running stock compression and a rising rate FPR. He said he was getting 260bhp from it at 6pi of boost... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bradvr6 0 Posted August 25, 2011 Anyone have any ideas on this? Still unable to find any details what so ever. The numbers on the label are 7701351505 and YKR0328W. When I type the part number into the Garrett search, the first 5 numbers are found but then disappear after that. The only Garrett turbo I can find which start with 77013 are for the Renault 5 GT which I think is a T2 or T25 turbo. This just looks a little too big to be one of those.
