Identification of Garrett Turbo

[ForgedBAxr6t]

Good day/evening. I need help identifying a turbo which is currently running on my BA xr6t.

As ive had my xr6t engine rebuilt, I have been very supicious on what turbocharger I have. "Its an upgraded Turbo charger" they said. But it would have been very informative if they stated what type of Garret they replaced it with. (I hope I wasnt fooled and they replaced it with the stock turbo)

Info: Where is visable... Garrett AR/50. M12 <WL> 5

Behind this there is a small red plate that reads GCG.

Any help will be very much appreciated in identifying this turbocharger.

Regards Damo

GCG are a huge supplier of Garrett in Au.

There will be a plate on the core. The bit in the middle of the 2 housings.

The stock turbo has a .50 front cover and says M12 on it but the insides might be different.

Non genuine CHRA won't have a plate.

Ahh the red plate has GCG i might have to get a magnifying glass to read the smaller prints... the insides is all the difference i guess.

Dumpsta: GCG, thanks I now have an idea of what that is.

can you pull the housings off to measure the wheels?
that will be the only way of knowing whats inside.
