Actually, I don't think this is BNR, my turbo has 12 turbine blades, not 11

the original owner didn't say so I assume he didn't know since he installed the turbo kit and forgot the rag in the intercooler and then couldn't figure out why it would not start

The inlet is 53mm

I thought it was stock too until I showed it to Dave @ KDR .... and he said it's an upgrade

My guess is a T04e 50 Trim . If so this is the wheel I've been suggesting people choose over the BNR .

Ok so upon closer inspection of the turbo I found some more clues ... The number on the turbine side has 2 numbers shaved and restamped .... it reads 179-10300 ... where the bold ones are the ones that look like they were shaved

also the 30 looks really fresh so the 1 and 9 could be on the stock greddy unit as well? Someone please confirm....

The cartridge has Z3 stamped on one side and K3 stamped on the other


Brettus, could you link me to the thread about the pros/cons discussion of that?
