A buddy of mine picked up this freshly rebuilt turbo today and I was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about it. He was asking me but I know little about Turbos. The main thing he was asking about was the stamp plate on it said CAT. I'm assuming it came off of a tractor or dozer or something. It is HUGE. Will it work on a car? If not no biggie. He really dont want it and if it would work on a car I can get it dirt cheap for my 5.0 project!! It is very clean. How about a value?? I will get the info on the tag tomorrow. Thanks guys.

That looks to me like a big turbo for a diesel engine of some sort. I have a piston that says CAT on it from a caterpillar motor. If thats the case, its prob way too big to put on a gas powered v8. It wouldnt spool up till like 6000 rpm's if it ever did lol. I cant say for sure, just measure the inlet. Is it well over 100mm?

Thats what I figured. I'll pass on the deal. That thing would take more than my little 5.0 to spool!! That thing is a MONSTER!!
Thanks for the info,
