I hope you had knowledge of turbo systems before you actually bought that turbo. Never heard of that kind but you may have to have a custom made mani

My knowledge isn't extensive enough to tell what I got by looking at the pics :(

either way it's 150 bucks for a brand new turbo... If I can't find anything or if it's gonna cost a small fortune to have one custom made, I already have a buyer lined up for it!!! :dance:

FINALLY!!!

Got ahold of a Garrett master dealer and they informed me it's a T04B from a 6.0L Mercedes diesel and will mount with any T4 manifold.



next question would be if this would be a good turbo app for either the KAE or KADE?

You don't want that on your car.

A KA would have a hard time spooling that thing up. It's a full T4 framed turbo with a 1.00 A/R. You'd get boost around 5000 - 5500 RPM or so; extremely laggy.

You need something around a T3 exhaust side with a ~0.63 A/R

it's a a/r.60 says so on the turbo so it will kick in at about 4000rpm perfect !!!

nice, there is plenty of info on building a turbo kit floating around on the net. I hope you have a pretty good idea of what you are looking to do/accomplish. Good luck to you mang.

T2 0.63
T3 0.63
T4 0.63

Are not all the same size.

A/R is Area / Radius ratio.

That turbo has a 0.60 A/R T04E compressor housing with a 1.00 A/R T4 exhaust housing. It will spool very late, it is designed for an engine that puts out about 3 times the exhaust energy.

+1 a 6.0L Mercedes Diesel will put out some gale force exhaust gasses.
You may want to rethink your strategy.
