Could be a hybrid?

The seller claims its gt28r, could have those internals but I thought the impellers were bigger....

It could be a 25r with 28r impeller? Of course it's only an uneducated guess!

That casing 'AiResearch' is an old T3 compressor used by Lancia's IIRC.

So not what its meant to be then?

The impeller doesnt look big enough tbh

That's not to say the inducer is not t3 but that compressor housing is ancient.

best bet would be to ask the seller for the numbers on the little plate and type them into the airesearch website and see what that brings up.

Yeah I could do just looks nothing like the turbo in the eBay link ie proper gt28r turbo.

It just appears like a T28....
