Turbo HELP

OK so i got this turbo for free and im new to the boosted world so not sure what size it is. say turbonetics on the side of the compressor housing and its got a .98 hot side A/R. Checked for shaft play and didnt find any seems good just dirty. i got the compressor side off the housing anyways but im have trouble with the hot side.

So the question is ... is there a special way to get the hot side housing off and if you can tell by just A/R would this fit on a mild 350 TPI Car

Re: Turbo HELP
