i got a garret tubo for free last month, its not the one im using on my car, just tryin to figure out what it is so i can sell the bitch, ok i dont have pics cause im at work but i will give you all the detail about were it came from and the a/r

it came out of a saab 900, late 80s maybe??? or early 90s, anyway its a garret cause it says real big garret on it, the a/r is .49 hot side, .48 coldside, the exauhst flang isnt the same size as the t3/t4 its a little smaller maybe a half inch from bolt to bolt, anyone have a clue??? i was thinking maybe a t3 but the older gm ones that were smaller....

late 80's saabs used very small trim T3's. have it checked out, they tend to have shaftplay as years go on.

nope 0 saft play, i swear no side to side or in and out, thing is like bran new...no joke, the saabs engine looked bran new too

You may have lucked out.

Usually, though, a turbo that should have shaft play that doesn't is probably packed with coked oil, at least packed enough to feel tight still. There really is no good way to measure this, though.

The turbo selection guide at turbo city might be good place to start figuring out what it is. http://www.turbocity.com/documents/TurbochargerMatrix.pdf

welp i know its not a t3 now, my buddy has some spare t3 flanges for both the early crysler t3 and the standard t3, and it dont fit, and on the turbocity site it says all of them are t3, EXCEPT one, says MIT TE05, welp ther it is, its a teo5 how much you think i could sell it for, i ran oil through it with my car, hooked it up, unplugged the coil, and cranked the engine and spun the turbo at the same time, she still has 0 shaft play and spins freely,

Glad that helped. Thats a 12b then I guess? http://www.nysoc.com/gallery/album43/P0011582

Not sure what you could get for it.

na it doesnt have a plate on it at all, it doesnt say 12b or anything but its not a t3, so it has to be the te05

I was thinking it was a t-25...just say it will power up to 800 hp and be done with it.
