i bought a SR20 from a guy last week and he included a turbo that looked to be almost new looking. it looks like a t25 but on the exhaust housing it says A/R .86. There is no info on the compressor housing what so ever. Could this turbo be a T25/T28? it almost looks like a ebay turbo. i checked the shaft play and there is some up and down. ill get some pictures soon!

on the exhaust housing it say AR .86 and it says nothing on the compressor. it also came with a HKS actuator! so what turbo is this? could it be a ebay turbo? there is no label on it what so ever

Its a T25 with a polished housing

cant really say if its a real garrett though

hope you didnt spend alot on it, you basically bought a polished turd

Notice the housing similarities on the T25 and yours

no it came with the sr20 i bought. i was looking around for a cheap motor and this was included with the sale along with ALOT of extras! $700 for the motor, tranny, harness, turbo, 2 sr20 heads, 2 sets of injectors, FMIC and piping, and gauges.

just trying to figure out what turbo it is. i didnt think stock t25s came AR .86

that doesn tlook like an orginal garret. Most probably ebay T25/28 ;)
