Google and YouTube will be your best friend. Also you can use the search button on here and read, lots of good info on different turbos/setups for different engines.

Garret is actually an easy one to learn about. Their part number tells you everything you'd want to know, http://garrettbyhoneywell.com/products/turbo-identification/ . R at the end is ball bearing, gtx is a high flow comp wheel. Is this the info you're wanting?

Borg Warner is s4(frame size) 75 (inducer size)

Don't mean to hijack this thread... it's time to rebuild or buy a new turbo for my '95. I use it for work & towing. Not looking for high power, just reliable

What do you guys recommend ? Thx !
