    Shaun, That turbo looks a LOT like the ebay / china special "hybrids" out there.

    Usually not very long lived.

    Check the wheel dimensions from the second link against his. If the match it is a 57 trim wheel. Some have run them on a 2.3 but they tend to want to surge on our application if you get fast boost response. Those are cheap wheels so you will see all kinds of .57/54 type wheels in those turbos.

    The "50" part of that refers to the cover design, although it technically isnt an "E" cover. Lots of confusion created by those chinese turbos.

    My Precission T04E 50 has a .60 cover for reference (because a 50E wheel will only fit in a .60 cover)
