anybody ever seen a turbo like this?

i got this old turbo and it was "rebuilt" so i wanna mess around with it... i want to know where i can get parts or more info on it but im not really sure what it came off of. i know it is a schwitzer. ive never seeen any setup like it. Also if anybody has any ideas on how to set it up that would be great, because im very new to the turbo world. thanks!

Does it have a data tag on it? Post the part number and maybe we can find some info on it like flow rate. Just taking a cursory glance it looks like a decent size for a v-8, not little like a t3 and not huge. Also that dual inlet turbine is very interesting. Jon

Going by looks alone, it has too much turbine and not enough compressor.

I would say from some kind of diesel. Kind of a neat design. But like someone else said, the compressor housing looks pretty small.

Im with everyone else, that compressor is tiny!

The compressor looks to be the same size as the ones we run on our deutz 100hp fan cooled diesel powerpacks, except our turbines are a tad smaller.

Im not sure if that thing would even make boost on a 350, might just be a restriction

Yup, I saw one just like it on ebay a few weeks ago. What does the turbine have for markings on it? Cut a piece of paper to fit into the aluminum wheel side to meaure the diameter of the alum. wheel. Even if the comp. wheel is big enough, the turbine is still huge. Not to mention packaging will be tough on the hot side.
