    Just going by the a/r, they are pretty small. Would be ok on a stock 5.0l using them as twin turbos. The numbers remind me of stock chrysler turbos.

    Is the M4 on the turbine housing? It was an old designator for the type of materials used in the turbine housing (nickle content). A .48 is a pretty tighjt turbine if it's a T3 frame turbo.

    Do you know anything on the source of them? Are they new, used, OEM??

    A few pictures might very well help piece together what you need to know to find out what they are. once you establish a frame size, we you can measure inducer, exducer, etc and find out what wheels they are.

    They are either T3 or T25 hot sides (I can check your measurements when I get home tonight). To nail down the compressors you need to measure the wheels. Roughly speaking they look like "60's" (not mm) like was used on Fords or mopars. I suspect if aftermarket they are old school super 60's but that's a guess with out measurements.

    If you was doing a low buck 5.0 twin turbo they would likely take you close to splitting a stock block :)

    PSI has nothing to do with size, think #'s / minute airflow.

    Why didn't you go with the big one Bill? Is that like a training turbo?

    Going by that weird 3-bolt turbine outlet and some Googling, it might be from a Saab:
