Calling all Turbo gurus!

[dcraine]

I have this supposedly real Garrett 2871 I can grab for $500 brand new off a guy. He sent me these pictures but it says a/r 60 and I thought the turbos only came in .64 and .86! Any help identifying what turbo this is and if it’s real would be awesome! I believe it’s a 2871 56trim .64 ar if it’s real.

It's fake, you should probably send me his contact info so I can buy it lol j/k He was probably referring to the compressor housing as that's probably .60 a/r. Turbine housing looks to be .86 a/r in the second photo. Looks legit to me.

I figured someone would say that lol so how would I tell 100% what a/r it is?

Most people will use the tag and casting marks per the manufacturers interweb site. You may have to use fancy words like aspect ratio or chra or even compressor and exhaust thingamajig
