It is about 64/78. Laggy as a single.

Thanksfor the reply, planned on using it on a small twins setup idk, it's laying there collecting dust so might as well do something with it , I know there's lots of variations if this turbo, including small and larger shafts, I wonder If this had the larger or if it would be worth playing around with, it's a fun driver just to play with so all advise would be appreciated

Thanks again

How hard would it be to put it on? If it's a T3 flange and you just need to change the down pipe, it might be worth trying.

It is about the same size as "towing" twins.

And I bet it is T6 flanged also.

It's got holes drilled it the flange for a t3 I believe just never tried to mount it, if I remember correctly a while back, several years I believe, I was told they were real weak and notorious for snapping shafts as a single, but as a twin setup, they would be ok, the way I figure it, is even if I did it and it didn't work well or last long, I'd at least have the setup built to run another set with minor mods, I just don't think it would be fun as a single until it lit .... But when it does........

Everyone I've ever seen has the same size shaft, even 50's just that the od of the bearing is bigger on 55's

By the way, I would like to debate the possibility of the compressor wheel being 64mm. I've never actually seen a 50, 52, or 55 with an even number size compressor wheel. Always a 65, 67, ect.

It is like 63.7 or 63.8. Close enough to 64 for me.
