Anyone hear of a T4 turbo?

[GNSteve]

A guy locally wants to sell this turbo, brand new in box. I haven't seen it, nor have I talked to the guy yet. I'd like to know beforehand if anyone has ever heard of this turbo, or if it'll fit TRs.
What would be the equivalent of this turbo, a TA49? I dunno.
Any insight into this? Turbo gurus? TIA!

A T4 or T3 is a TYPE of turbo, not an indivdual model of turbo. The 3 bolt turbos that come on grand nationals are T3/T4 Hybrids. Its a T3 series turbine, with a T4 series compressor. Within each type, there are many many different sizes. A T3 turbine is needed to be a "bolt-in" for a GN. If you want to use a T4 series turbo then you probably need to use an adapter and a different downpipe.

Justin,

Thanks for the informative reply! At the risk of seeming stupid, I ask you this: would it be possible to somehow combine parts from the T4 and my stocker to make a "good" turbo? Would it be at all worthwhile to consider this turbo for purchase, or should I pass? Need more info from the seller? Thanks again!
