its not a t04e

well not anything ive seen... that rear housing is mega small.

their should be A/R marking on front and rear housing... the rear one migh be on the inside of the flange

Looks like an ol IHI plain bearing turbo...does the exhasut housing have a P## nulber cast into it

no not at all there is like 4 little plates all have mumbers or letters on the but none seem to mean anything and are hard to make out

and you are correct it is an IHI/ borg warner

i went to borg warner industries web site put in the B/W number (borg warner number) and the turbo is off a 98 6.5lt chevy pickup turbo diesel

and how can you tell what bearing it has ??? it feels great spins so freely has a little play like half a mm but i asume this is becuase there is no preesurised oil to float the shaft or whatever it does is this a correct statement??

So i have heard.
