TE45 or TE45A

[Royal-T-Ltd]

So back to the original question here. Just because the compressor wheel on both of these turbos are the same size looking at them in these pictures, does not mean that the TE45's compressor wheel is a 66mm like the CPT66BB, making it a TE45A. Is this correct or would I have to measure the compressor of the TE45 turbo with the compressor cover off?

If you measure the turbo on the right and it measures 66mm [~2.6"] then YES! - you have a TE45A...... which is a 66mm P-Trim with an E cover

I would assume you need to measure the wheel to find out, that or maybe its scribed on the compressor housing what turbo it may be.

Did you see my above post?

I may be wrong.... but it isn't just as easy as measure the wheel to see if it measures 66mm....

For instance.... take a TA60 .... which we all know has a 60mm wheel.

According to the chart here: turbo measurement chart

The 60mm compressor wheel has an inducer measurement of 2.32" (58.93mm) and an exducer size of 3" (76.2mm). Neither of these is 60mm.... neither is the average of the two together...

So I am confused why "they" call it a 60.... but I do know those measurements on that chart to be the truth..... anyway.... my point is you can't just take a metric reading dial caliper and measure the wheel and know what it is.

Clear as mud?

Study the chart.... measure yours...and report back...maybe even take a pic with the compressor cover off...
