Err... I think that could serve best on a homemade jet engine It looks kinda trashy - probably needs to be rebuilt. Also, does it SAY Garret on the housing?

I think its one off a Eagle Tallon or something like that. I still think you should build a jet engine with it.

It would be foolish to try and use that thing. First, complete kits with a brand new turbo will probably cost less then buying all the parts you need separately. That seems like reason enough for me. But if not, then trying to tune your fuel system to match that things output without any specifications is just silly. You will end up with a really screwed up fuel system and no working turbo.
