its t28 size with a t3 manifold fange fitting. turbine ar is about 0.42 and compresor is about .48 runs a ceramic turbine wheel, good for MAX 14psi on 2.0L motor
the cores of these turbos (bearings and seals) are NOT rebuildable. and they are a different size of fittings compared to standard garrett so parts are NOT interchangeable.
be warned

Its true they are very limited in the power department!!! They are however rebuildable (ATS in Melbourne can do them)A few companies now can rebuild ball bearing turbo's.

ok, correction, there are a few places that will rebuild bearing turbos. however, it is an extreemely costly enterprise and is not commonplace. ie up to $1700 for a rebuilt core (one quote i got). compare to GT28 (360hp) garrett brand new for $2600.
if the turbo has got life in it, great, theyre a good unit for specific application. however, future potential is severly hampered by non interchangeability of compressor/turbine housings with other garrett models, and the price/availability of rebuild is prohibitively expensive.
