thanks mr meph

It was suppose to be a GT28RS, but most GT28RS I have seen have a 3inch inlet.

Looks like an alternator to me. Not a turbo mang.

i talked to the shop i bought it from. They said it is a GT28RS, but has a different compressor housing, so the inlet looks different from the GT28RS i have seen (i thought they all had 3in inlets)

thanks for the tips. I guess I will know if it is a GT28RS once the car is running.

well. Now we get into a VERY VERY BIG DEAL.

That compressor does compromize flow. It spools a little faster, but peak output is pretty affected. If you wanted the 3 inch inlet, you should return it. There will be different performances. Everyone is using that one now, because it is "bolt on"

I was thinking about writing it all out and then im like hey why not just link you guys right to the source... here you go, covers a lot of stuff. When im unsure of my memory I usually check this website.
